I went out for a while this morning to test a matuka I’m tying for a fly swap. It worked real good. I landed over a dozen trout and missed a lot of hits on it. I think it will be a good one for the “Summer Time Bugs Swap III” Deserttrout is hosting. Here’s a few photos.

Those are some fine looking fishies you guys got into.
Did you feed that big guy or did he manage to catch that little fish on his own ??

John, The little trout was floating belly up when I got there. The big one kept tormenting it and got close enough for me to take it’s picture. It also chased a couple I had hooked. I had a few 12"+ that had bites taken out of them. Jim
Nice fish! What’s with the wrist band?

Jim,
Great looking fish, look like everyone had way too much fun! The way that big one was feeding you might consider Kevlar waders! Thanks for the post and great pictures!

Great!

MSD53X, This is the fly. Olive and red on a Mustad 2XH/4XL size 8 streamer hook.
Very nice tie there jimsnarocks, it’s no wonder the fish were hungry lol lol. I’ll have to try that one over here on the right side.
Thanks for posting
