What a great time of the year! The weather is really holding and the fish are carrying the colors of fall.
The rainbow on the left ate a brown leech pattern behind an egg. Guess it figured it would eat the ham first. Picking up a bunch of fish using that technique. Just put the leech about 4″ below the egg under an indicator.
Here’s Pat with a super fish picked up on the North Fork.
Not a bad fish. Pat really tore ’em up. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. I believe this fish ate a leech as well.
No doubt you need to layer up to fish this time of year, but the rewards can be fantastic.

Duane,
You could tell the rest of the story about the fish in the first photo but no one would believe it. Thanks for a great day. you really know your stuff! Can’t wait to get out with you again.
You’re right, not too many would believe it. I had a great day on the river with you. Fun to watch you catch a lot of big fish!
