Received a small package today from Washington State with a BIG GIFT.

Ron Eagle Elk sent along a selection of the flies he likes for his Pacific Northwest waters, to try here in the Intermountain West. Got the perfect place in mind, but it may be a few days before I get the chance to tempt our Central Mountains rainbows with them.

In the meantime, here they are.



I do believe the trouts over here ( which do not live in ugly places ) are going to enjoy playing with the soft hackles above this time of year. And for sure, the ones in the two lower left sections of the other side of the box will also trick them this month.



Thanks much, Ron.

John

P. S. Maybe I'll see some wildlife along the way - pRONghorn antelope, EAGLEs, and ELK.
