Elvis has left the building!

We've hopefully seen the last of the salmon waving their white flags.  The egg bite is over and the swung fly is back.  This early morning hen crushed my black and blue scandi style tube and then proceeded with a good minute or so of spastic acrobatics all over the place.  Got to hear my Hardy (Sage) sing for the first time with a chromer on the end of the line.

Coho Jack



We've continued to have low and clear water on the Flat. It occurred to me last night that maybe I should try something smaller and a little less flashy than what I normally use. Awhile back, I had tied up a bunch of comet style flies, based on some Jay Nicholas/Oregon Fly Fishing blog videos. I had an excellent night a few weeks ago with chartreuse and black comet in low light for bass. But I really like blue and black at first light. I tied on a blue and black comet on a size 4 Gammy B10s this morning and hooked up with this little jack. He took it on the hang down right at the end of a deeper hole that sits on the edge a current seam.
