Big Trout Week for Mother-in-Law


Caught 4 rainbow trout in two sessions!  My best yet – and, having caught 2 yesterday, I could have caught more if I hadn’t dropped my ‘priest’ into the lake!  The fish were leaping so close they were splashing me! 


On Friday, after trying a host of dry flies, I eventually hooked one (1lb 13oz) on a Shipman's Buzzer and another (2lb 1oz) on a red-bead-headed lure (Woolly Bugger?)    

On Monday, again after numerous attempts with different dry flies, I was twice successful (2lb and 1lb 14oz) with a gold-bead-headed lure (Woolly Bugger?)     One of these days I’ll know what the damn flies are called!
