How do you tie the fly to your hooks without killing them with the thread? I keep cutting them in half.

Not certain if she is the prettiest, but this little gal took my breath away when I looked though the brush and happened upon her feeding on tiny dries. Beautiful to me.

This thread rocks! :rockon: Dray - that shot is sweet!
Since I don't live anywhere near wild trout, and because SIZE matters I left for work a little bit early with my tape measure...
Image
This should qualify.
The urban SoCal watersheds are so pristine and with strictly enforced regs, there is exceptional fishing!
Image
Shhhhh... I even caught a 5 incher today too!

A few of you know why I like this one...

Denny Crane: Ah. You can see them in there. Look at the crystal clear water. My fly went right by his nose. Eat it you picky *.

Here is one of my little fish. I pulled out the big guns for this one. My 6-foot 5-w. rod.

I couldn't see the fish because the fly blocked it out!

My humble contribution - This chubby Yosemite brookie was caught yesterday by a client. The fish rose to a big bushy black caddis (raise your hand if you tied it - this is from out Caddis Swap a while back). A recent front that blew through put down the insect activity. Except for tiny yellow sallies, there was no significant insect activity but do the brookies care? Of course not!

Went out and got my line wet today. Came home excited to post this shot I took and posted it on someone else's post by misstake. Any who here it is.

Landed more, but when I pulled out my camera it was dead and my cell phone died after this picture.
Just my luck :oops:
