I'm typing this very slowly because my hands haven't thawed yet. It was a bit nippley today in Pueblo... Ben Lewis and I were a few of the crazies on the river today. The trout didn't even show up. We started fishing around the pump house and it was very slow going. I hooked and landed a 14" bow during the first half hour or so and if I thought that would be the only fish of the day I'd have taken a picture. So here is a pic of the fly I used.I'm not sure if anyone else has done this but it's just micro chenille covered in thick CC. It looks amazing and took the only fish of the day. Had a great hit on a size 12 purple CC worm but didn't hook up. I had some #12 Dai-Riki 135s that I wasn't using and figured I'd experiment. I noticed how dull they were when I put them in the vise but didn't take the time to sharpen them and it cost me a nice fish today. I knew it would end up biting me in the arse and it did. Another lesson learned the hard way....
Can't wait to try some of these this spring in high flows. So far the CC doesn't seem to be cracking or flaking off so it may wind up being a regular "fly" I use. The CC I used for these is the thick CC Tack Free.
