Salmonflies !!
It's that time of year.
Here's my "old" standard.
And one of four wild and native West Slope cutts that ate it today.

South Branch Raritan? Near Hackensack?
Nice fly. Damn good fish. Our season here--East of the divide--is a good two weeks ahead of schedule. But still way behind yours. Only a few hours West.
Still kind of early ...
... and I wouldn't consider it salmonfly season over here, Sandy. It will likely be a while before it gets started.
The outing yesterday was more on a hunch, and in response to Poke 'Em's comment** about an early end to the run off perhaps leading to a great salmonfly season. I tied up a JC's Salmonfly and headed off to the Lochsa. The fishies have been looking up for skwalas - so why wouldn't they look up at a bigger version of the same basic shape in different colors ??
The hunch paid off. And four of the trouts that rose to the fly ate it. Only one refusal. Got to see three of the fishies rising to the fly from deep down - the other one was a very sudden, aggressive attack on the fly. What fun !!
