dont be using the stomach pump on salmon and cuttroat you intend to release, they go thru enough mortality as it is to have someone holding them then shoving some tube down there gut and I bet those tackle shops will talk new flyfishermen into those saying you need to match the hatch, its all a bunch of bull s**t. its pretty simple to know what there biting on in the saltwater, frshwater theres a need, but I dont fish for trout that much and I sure wouldn't pump a trout then let it go. thats like using a net on a shaker.

greg do you use feelers at the rear for your patterns or do you have them in a little have circle thats it. I bet tin foil would catch them anyway that small. little shiny piece of tin foil all reflecting in the current, Ben

in response to tin foil flies i made 6 up in green, pink, and white and a tin foil shell, and you know what, brings em in from a distanse. had 1 hr to test my flies and caught 4 silvers a little north of gig harber, south of olalla. gonna try the eel grass flat between pilot point and point no point tomorrow for a breather of bait/gear chuckin for blackmouth. tight lines, Ben

I was targeting blackmouth and seeing if theres any resident silvers in the area but caught one flounder and a rough ride back. little or no bait there at point no point, only seen a couple of fish caught at pnp and area. pretty slow blackmouth opener. Ben
