Re: [VFB] Orange Mohawk?? - Back to the beginning

[Kevin W. Machon]

Getting back to the post that started this thread, Sunday I was back on the 
water in the same place where trout were eating my indicator.  A week later 
they were still doing it.  And of course I didn't have time to tie the 
Mohawks or Bomber-esque patters recommended, so I still didn't catch the 
dern fish.......no excuses next time.......

I was thinking on this thread yesterday while fishing my favourite stream 
for the first time in the new year.

I remembered this fly I tied for fishing on glarey water... I managed to 
catch two browns with this yesterday, and missed one more :-)

Here is a picture and a pattern....

As an aside,  I also caught my second Australian grayling ever ( a rare and 
protectd species...) these usually about 6 inches long, and the one I 
caught was 11 inches.. a monster which weas quickly rtw to hopefully make 
some more babies !!!

I was also lucky enough to have a cast at the biggest trout I have seen on 
this stream... 2 - 3lber... of course it refused all of my offerings as  I 
could not get a drag free drift over it.. and managed to spook it when I 
manouvered to try to get a better position... :-)
