Anyone fish the Blue Wing Adams?

[Byron haugh]

Said to have "better wing definition".........

Byron, I use a black wing sparkle dun at 3$ bridge for the Baetis hatch there in October. It shows up better on the water in the crummy weather they hatch in.

Dave,
Interesting. Am I correct in assuming you go there at that time to primarily fish the Madison in the Barns' Pools area?

[Jeremy]

Nice tie Byron. I'd fish her!!

Looks like one wicked hook. Mind if I ask the make/model etc.?

Jeremy.

[Byron haugh]

Thanks, Jeremy....

I won't spell this correctly, but.......Gamatkatsu. Model S 10 in a size 14.

[Jeremy]

Thanks Byron. Really good hooks, those "Gamma's". (see what I did there..)

I'm a muskie guy in my other life and I sub. all the treble hooks on my big pitching baits with Gamma's, even though I can sharpen the big 5/0 trebles quite well.
It's where "the rubber meets the road"!!

Yea. I was recently in the Tacoma, Wa. area and went to a fly shop in Gig Harbor.
Most of the "Gammas" they sell are not trout hooks, but salt water hooks. Big boys!!

Byron, I fish the barns holes some when I am out there and some spots above 7 mile. There where a ton of people fishing it this year. I like catching the 14 to 19 in. fish on size 22 flies and 6x at $3 dollar and Raynolds more.

dave,
My son and I fish the Madison down near West Fork each summer in early-mid July. Some wonderful fish there as well. We also fished $3 Bridge, but like the more open area further downstream a little better. Caught some really nice fish up just above Quake Lake below the Campfire Lodge. Some big fish there!
That entire region is just awesome.
