Ha! - it headed toward the ocean side of the flat a quarter mile away. I have white backing to 150 yards and yellow for the next 100 yards. Hit the yellow with no sign of slowing down and I started walking/wading/stumbling as fast as I could to prevent getting spooled. Second run was almost as far.

The more isolated, further back and higher I go, the bigger they get.
Monsters, lots and lots of Monsters. And I will NEVER tell where they are.
My fly in the above Golden's lower jaw tells the tale. That is a #14 Tiemco TMC 2302 emerger pattern of mine that measures just over 3/4 of an inch.

Nice fish Chief...that's an impressive golden!
Interested in a closer look at that fly if you don't mind sharing your pattern.

Some "catch & abuse, then release" shots from Idaho, where fishing sucks.
Yesterday in a stream that is all Rainbows. It must have moved downstream from a mountain lake stocked with cutthroats.

Sorry for the delay, briham. No, it's a lake in Emigrant Wilderness, one that's a little hard to get to. But yes, lots of good luck there.

BG... they love to ambush wildly moving bright weighted flies. Gotta chuck em out 60-80 feet, let em settle then start stripping with very sporadic and inconsistent tugs. BOOM! Out they come from the depths of their hiding holes in the rocks and viciously grab your offerings. Better hold on and start bringing em fast cus if you don't, they'll take your shet back down into the depths and the rocks and break you off in a heartbeat.
Guy: Anytime. Troutfitter I assume. If so, they are good folks there. Talk em into some deals as they are always offering if you ask.
Here's some additions to Dehli's color post...

I recently went on a self contained kayak trip on the middle fork of the salmon river in Idaho. Needless to say it was awesome. It's been way too long since I got away.
I did a lot of fishing. I was catching a ton of small fish on dry flies, and when I finally decided to try swinging some streamers, I started hitting some nice cut throats.
Whitney wanted to take a photo together. I cast a dry fly out, and caught a fish while I was looking at the camera, and not the fly haha.

Those look great Chief. My older boy and I have been trying to get up there and fish. Just to check out what each lake has.
I too have found that the bright colors work for the goldens. If you toss a hopper, make sure it has pink- that sort of thing.
Seeing your flies confirms my suspicions and makes me want to double down on the bright.
Thanks for sharing.

Glad to see the posts from lurkerville, Chief. Might want to change that to lunkerville. Looks like you're doing very well, fishing and otherwise.
My docs just changed my fall Wall plans to fishing and fly tying plans. thanks for the inspiration.
