One great thing about John's candidates, you don't have to pick up their signs from your yard.

Nice fish, as usual, John.

I think you need a committee investigation of why the yellow double bunnie was impeached. I volunteer to be on your committee.

... where voting was delayed several days, a former FOTW, running uncontested, received unanimous approval from a Rainbow Coalition.

The voting took place at several locations in the venue.







The coalition consisted of a bunch of ....

.... cutthroat and


... a brown,


.... a cuttbow,


.... and, of course, a rainbow.


Weather did not effect the turnout. In fact, all the vote counting was done wearing hiking boots, levis, and a short sleeved tee shirt. 70F in the Bitterroot in November ??!!

John

P.S. That's a grand slam for this venue.

lordy, that is some clear water
May I ask what type of leader/tippit length are you using?
Love the sage also

...May I ask what type of leader/tippit length are you using?...

... 9' for 7 wt, which is a bit much for this stream but handles the indicator / nymph rig better than my other rods.

The leader is a homebrew 6' thread furled leader made out of Danville 210 Flymaster Plus fly tying thread. This is the same leader I use on my 3-4-5 wt rods for dry fly fishing and fishing smaller nymphs. It handles the large thingamabobber and the size 6 4XL heavily weighted stonefly nymph just fine. The tippet for this set up was Frog Hair 3X fluoro. Had about five feet tied to the tip ring of the leader. The indicator was placed about 2' up from the tip of the leader most of the time.

John

P.S. Some folks profess to have tried and not liked furled leaders. Makes me wonder what kind of junk they had to try out, or if they gave it a fair chance for the kind of fishing they were doing.

I mean, one thread leader that handles flies from size 20 dry flies on 6X tippet to size 6 4XL weighted stonefly nymphs under an indicator fished on 2X tippet and turns over both of those extremes and everything in between beautifully and enhances the prospects for a perfect drag free drift !! What's not to like about a leader like that that costs about a buck and a half to make and lasts a long time ??

Hey John,
Very thoughtful "play"on words. The pics and fish ain't all that shabby either.
