New Fly Boxes

I'm trying to get my fly boxes in order.
These are my flies that I tied this winter.

Ski One Day & Fish the Next

The rainbows still like the yellow stone fly.....
and the 2-bit hooker.

This is the only brown that was caught.

The Provo River

Darlene's rod was bent over most of the time.

This is Jeff, the head guide and co-owner of Four Seasons Fly Fishers

It was 17 degrees when we started.

Jeff displays one of the many fish Darlene caught.
Good thing he was getting his hands wet because she certainly didn't want to.

We experienced a new way of nymph fishing on this guided trip.
It was very effective on this part of the river.

Browns make up 99% of the fish population on this section of the river.

Larry had to take his own pictures and release the fish too.

He is way tougher than Darlene!

Wade Fishing on a Beautiful Afternoon

The river was a bit icy on the sides.
This fish tore up my fly. Had to tie on a new one after releasing it.

The Fish Spotter's First Fish for 2011

The Fish Spotter was becoming friends with this rainbow.
It was chilly--had to fight the ice in the guides.

This rainbow took a golden stone fly.

Today the rainbows out numbered the browns 2-1.

The browns tended to take

the 2-bit hookers. Enlarge the picture on the right.

It was a good hook set.

Fishing Mid-morning

This colorful rainbow took a red 2-bit hooker.
This short nosed rainbow also took the red 2-bit hooker.

All the fish I caught were healthy!!

This brown has some colorful spots.

The last fish I caught took the yellow stone fly.

Fishing was great until the wind came up.

The wind chill dropped the temp. 20 degrees. Time to go home.

Pheasant Feathers

'The Fish Spotter' has a good nose for sorting pheasant feathers.

I was successful in bringing home my limit of pheasants in Kansas.

Some of the feathers will help catch fish in 2011.
