[VFB] Another great day on the Weber (with picture link)
I went out again Saturday and had another great day of fishing on the Weber. Again, more fish than I cared to count. This time I remembered I had my cell phone with me and snapped a few pictures of the larger/ prettier fish. Most pictures are in the 13 to 16 inch range. The surprise of the day was a Tiger trout, a laketrout-brook- trout hybrid which isn't (to my knowledge) planted in the Weber but probably escaped from a reservoir somewhere on the drainage. I have caught tiger trout before, but never in this river. This one was particularly beautiful. I have posted its picture, and I also included a picture of a larger Tiger trout caught in 2007, to show how the difference in coloration between it and the fish caught in the river. Most of the Tiger's I've caught have the dull colors of the larger fish, but they are spectacular when in color. I also had a double hook-up (I always use two flies) something that has never happened before on the river. The fish on the top fly got off, but it was fun while it lasted. In addition to the fish pictured I caught a bunch of monster Rocky Mountain white fish, fat and in the 18 inch range, but I didn't bother to take a pictures of them. Even though they are native and wild, they don't get much respect because of their lack of color and fighting habits. They are peppy enough, but want to stay close to the bottom. Since large Browns also pull toward the bottom, one never knows, so having it end up being a white fish is always a disappointment. Maybe that is why we don't like them (but I would rather catch white fish than no fish)! As the day wore on, I tried using alternate flies, but none produced like the BHPT. Finally, just before leaving, I tied on a Wooly Bugger to see if I could pull out some larger browns. The first strike snapped off the first bugger (a brown olive mohair tied on a light gold plated jig hook). The only other big flies I had with me was a Clouser minnow (chartruse/white) and a big ugly bugger that I call the Sparkplug (Large gold bead, black tail, brown body, grizzly hackle and lots of lead). I caught one on the Clouser (not distinctive enough to photograph) and a nice fat Brown with a slightly hooked jaw caught on the Sparkplug (you can see the black marabou tail on the side of its mouth). I think I fished the hole for four hours, with steady action. Finally, since my Mac makes it so easy to do, I dragged over a couple of videos taken last Thursday on Lost Creek. I also included some pictures of the way I tie BHPT that caught most of the fish. The rabbit hair showing in the pictures was an experiment which didn't make any difference, so I don't do it now. I also added a picture sequence showing how the fly is tied. You can find the pictures athttp://gallery.me.com/tsmd#100351 Enjoy.

By the way what size BHPTN's did you use? On Sun, Oct 19, 2008 at 10:36 AM, Tom Davenport [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I went out again Saturday and had another great day of fishing on the Weber.
