Fishing Gene Proven to Exist


It's official....definitive proof that the "fishing gene" exists. Just check out this SWEET Ten Inch Crappie that my newphew Braden landed while on a fishing trip with his Dad. One can trace the gene back to my father, known for catching minnows with bacon baited safety pins and for Rhode Island flounder mastery. Maybe someday my nephew will take over as the lead guide for Native Trout Fly Fishing...he certainly has made a great start!! Congratulations B-Dawg!!!! That's an awesome fish!!

ID this Fly


Anyone know what the heck this fly is SPECIFICALLY? I know its a conehead bugger type, but its very unique and I found it on the side of the Yellowstone in Montana. It absolutely killed browns over two days. It has an unusually large chenille which is shaved close on 3 sides of the fly, leaving an elevated dorsal line along the top of the fly.
If anyone knows where I can get this chenille or this fly, please let me know.
