Wayne - I am a big fan of your stream photo journals. I am glad to read you had such a nice afternoon. Love the photos! I can't keep from smiling, when I see the fish with the fly in its lip. That fly is a thing of beauty!

On another note, I found the discussion of your leader rig very interesting. I read your description a few times to make sure I understood the set-up. I love the idea of sliding the fly up the line to change flies. I know you have mentioned the bead trick a couple times. Having it on the sliding part makes a lot of sense. The bead can still move, but is constrained on both ends (fly on one end & main leader on the other). Valuable tips which I will gladly borrow. Thanks.

Thanks all for the kind words. Means alot.

Hank, if I were to place a wager I would bet on Delta.
Bring a comb for Rascal. There are alot of burrs along the trail this year.

Ray, my leader setup for swinging wets is probably considered barbaric by most. Thats ok though. When swinging wets I dont believe the fish have time to be choosy. My system uses larger than normal tippet, and I like being able to quickly change out the point (closest to the fly line) fly without changing the dropper (farthest from the fly line.

My streamer set up would probably make people cringe aswell.

Another great report, Wayne! Thank you and props on your pattern working so well.

And you're right: Rasevic's really is a superior looking flymph.

Ha, "a" superior looking fly, not the superior looking fly. Glad you've proved the pudding, though--the orange tag I think is really a special feature.

Dubbn...I am drawn to this fly. I like the shaggy/buggy look to it. I have no doubt it is a big time fish getter.
