Glenn,
Just dropping a note to say I will be in Eureka March 27-28 and maybe the 29
as Brooke has a job interview in Eureka. Maybe we could fish together? Let
me know how that time works for you, and as always, we'll keep an eye on the
weather. The BIG rainbows might be doing something interesting at that
time, huh? I look forward to it,
Todd

I been fishing those big trout for years in the Kootenai River ,in
Libby,Montana ,that is where I live . I use 2/0 hooks and number two hooks
flies tied in chartreuse ,white and sculpins tied with tan or cotton tail
color fur works best.Those Clousers style flies work well also . In the
river I use a deep water express line ,cut down to about 9 1/2 feet ,for a
9 weighted salmon rod ,connected to a thirty pound monofilament for running
line, using a four to five piece ,twelve pound leader which I
make.Sometimes I tie two of those large flies on the leader at the same
time ,about thirty inches apart.The front fly acts as a teaser.Steelhead
eggs also work well.............Do you live near Libby, Montana ?...Glenn

So Ian must have a Kootenai pattern somewhere for those huge bows? I
hear you have to troll the flys from a plane board off the stern using a
downrigger versus split shot... seriously!

I understand totally your reasons for re-cycling them Murf and have no
problem with it whatsoever. I got them from Iain Short out of curiosity.
They JUST fit in my vice and I have tied a few creations on them.
