Thanks for the great read. I enjoy reading about fishing in my native NW.

One of the funniest things I ever witnessed while fly fishing involved whitefish. Did you know they will take a dry quite willingly? I have a friend who owns a few acres on the Methow River in eastern Washington. One hot summer afternoon I noticed my friend had dragged a lawn chair into the river so that he was sitting down up to his belly button in the water. The funny part was he was fishing with an elk hair caddis and catching one whitefish after another. Every time he hooked one he would start giggling. We still laugh about it to this day.
