The “one” that got away

[P-FITZ98]

Around here we have a gentleman's agreement that we can't name a new fly until it catches a fish. I think your lost fish qualifies in that regard. Does it have a name yet?

Not really, I tie lots of weird stuff that isn’t named. I’d usually leave it to my son when he was young, he came up with interesting names. My cousin and teacher tied a really productive steelhead pattern years ago that got him an almost 30lb’er on the Babine. It is in the FFF encyclopedia of flies, simply named the UB-1, which stands for “unnamed bastard”.

You saw the Hellsgate bighorns!? Nice!

You recognize that second pic, appears! That is Hellsgate. Not as many sheep as we used to see, it seems like. We were treated to a good battle between 2 big rams one day about 10 years ago. It was awesome

Didn't recognize it. Just the only place that I know of around here with any is the game reserve.
