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.
