How about this on a 4wt?

 

Nice.
Beautiful spot!
PNW?

 

I’ve sent a few into the weeds before

 

Looks like Yellowstone maybe

 

That was in Columbia County around Centralia. I live in NY and frequently fish Tioga County

 

That would be a Yellowstone Cutthroat out of the Yellowstone river. Skated a purple humpy salmonfly along the far edge over a weedbed.

 

Here’s another one from The NW
10lb native steelhead.

 

Working on some new stonefly patterns

Are those mini lead dumbbell eyes on the first one?

 

@scottalot

 

Had some success in Colorado last week! Water was still very cold but they were loving the dry dropper set up!

 

They sure are.

 

Nice I’m gonna have to get some of those. Seems like a good way to add weight without crowding the hook gap
Also they look great lol

 

You could always get some micro lead wire and wrap the hook shank. It adds a little body thickness to your dubbing, so you can use less dubbing.
Thanks, going to post more soon.

 

Right on
when I wrap the lead and dubbing I then flatten the whole thing out with a pair of pliers so’s to give a flat profile and clear the hook gap better

 

perfect!

 

@SpeySquatch @truchador Check out Kelly galloups version of adding weight to the leader itself. Allows the fly to act more naturally in the water as opposed to a weighted fly that’s sinking. It also allows you to add or remove split as needed to desired depth.

 

Good advice. I usually go with 2-3 micro to small split when nymphing and I ALWAYS run two nymphs.

My new addiction is my 3wt trout spey swinging a bugger followed by a caddis nymph. My first fish ever on it was a 22" rainbow that peeled drag like a bat outta hell

 

Going to Colorado next month. Where about did you fish (area)?

 

Clear Creek, around Georgetown area.
