I thought it should be posted here.
Sorry if its on the wrong spot.

Was caught on a bead and a whoollbugger fly. Trying to mimick an egg sucking leach.

Water temp was about 50, outside the same. Flows were at 2k. Location, upper AR.

Thanks guys.
Got this one on a egg sucking leach pattern. It was on a drift, hit hard! Lost about 6 more till my fly was torn away.

Hard fighting fish!  Anyone wants to ever go hit me up. We have a few more weeks. Saw a HUGE SCHOOL that was released today. And another huge school of salmon that are off limits but have steelies behind them.

Chasing eggs from the salmon.

Awesome Matt, I will contact you about going out the 2nd or 3rd of February.  What line are you using when you are swinging?  Floating, intermediate, type 3?
So long and thanks for all the fish!!!
