Feb 10 The Evening Hatch

OLYMPIC PENINSULA

STEVO with a 20 pounder:))) This fish was caught using a standard floating skagit head with 10 feet of T-14 and a slightly weighted bug of 3 inches.

Working for your fish is part of the equation. Lately we have had to work for every single one. Appreciation is the word when it all comes together.

Keeping your fly in the strike zone is crucial and depends on where you believe the fish are; holding or traveling? If you believe theyre holding in heavy nuggets based on the water being low and clear, then utilizing integrated lines might be a smart tactic. If you believe the fish are on the move a lot, 10 feet of T8 might be sufficient. One of the best grabs lately was on T8 and a slightly weighted fly. Unfortunately, that fish did not stay connected because the hook was wrapped around the head of the fly. Remember, as noted in the last post, removing glitches out of the equation that youre able to control and prevent, will increase your odds on landing fish.
