Hi Gang, Back from another trip to Yellowstone N.P. I spent about 6 days fishing and man was the fishing fantastic, I didn't do as well a month ago when the weather was hot so this was nice. I used a variation of Lafontaines Airhead the whole week long except for twice and did better then most folks I talked to. I fished mainly canyon water with many boulders for the fish to hold up around. I remember one fish on the Lamar river in the canyon I placed the fly so that it swung under a boulder and right away a nice 19" Yellowstone cutt grabbed the fly and headed around the boulder and into the fast water it was a great fight and I got him in ok thanks to my net. The only reason I mention the net is because I didn't have it with me the day before on the same river and I hooked up with a really beautiful Yellowstone cutt who was slurping bugs out of the foam and after a long fight on the fishes part and a very tired right arm on my part I pulled to the shore a 21+ inch and as I started to take the hook out and release the fella he darted off again and snapped my 5x tippet. And now a trout swims the Lamar with an "airhead" in his mouth. the net came in handy the next day. Well my little 7 1/2 ft. feather light eagle claw did great as usual. 35+ fish in 2 hours is a lot of fun. If anyone wants the pattern and instructions to my simplified version of the airhead let me know. I'm still grinning.
