Truth be told, I don't have any plans to "top this one"...just fish whenever I can!

I was really hoping to get one on the first cast but it didn't happen.

Here is the fly used for the first part of the morning, until I snagged it in a tree...I then switched to a Briminator with a ruby red bead head...worked about as well but I really like being able to see the fly in this location. Clear water and fast strikes over the beaver hut.

Pretty basic Mustad 3366 in size 8 or 10, sparkle chenille, flo yellow marabou, chain bead, and oversized ssaddle hackle (Chinese).

Also added another from last spring...same spot.

This years went about 12" or so....that is a one piece 10" handle from Janns with rattan added so i would guess around 12 would be right.
