Seemed to suit the fishies ( westslope cutthroat ) just fine. Had 10-12 in hand, four or five graciously took their long distance bye-bye, a couple had the nerve to hit the fly but not eat it, and several came to take a look and then back to the deep.
Not a bad afternoon, but the fishing should pick up shortly. May have to start cutting off the hook and playing tag. :roll:
