Hit some local stillwater today I hopes of what will be the beginning of some exciting fall fishing. I'll admit, the stillwater scene this summer has been for the most part disappointing. With that being said, I have enjoyed some incredible dry fly action at Strawberry on many occasions, but I have not been able to find the "hogs" with my typical streamer patterns. I have logged more hours on the river this year then I have in the last 10 years put together. It was fun getting back to my "roots" so to speak - my Dad taught me the art of fly-fishing when I was just a kid.
We are doing a "favorite streamer" swap over at http://www.utahonthefly.com so I had to try out my new design before swapping it. It's a variation of the Purple Show Girl, but I'm calling mine the "$2.00 *****", because it works best when it gets dark. It's designed to fish in low light conditions. Blue is the last color that goes when it starts to get dark. Needless to say, the fly produced well in any light condition.

Well… I hope you all get out and enjoy the best part of the year when it comes to fly-fishing. Perhaps I'll see you on the water.
