Those are some incredible pictures!

The American Soldier and Jesus Christ. One died for your freedom, the other for your soul.

Nice fish, probably planted or my group planted those fish in the lake.

Amazing fish, seriously you could charge money to take people to those lakes!  I'd have to bring a pan and eat at least one of those bad boys.  My buddy and I tried to catch fish like that last year at a lake up high, tried everything, couldn't get them to bite.  You can see the fish swim by, huge!!

Do you use a float tube or just fish from the bank?  All on the fly?
Most lakes I go with a float tube but waders or wet wading for this lake get me far enough from the bank. This trip I packed waders but never put them on, it’s a long ways to take a float tube. And yep all on flies. There was a huge mayfly hatch so I only caught one on a dry because there were so many other bugs to eat, most of them that I caught were on a size 8 pats stone.  :tup:

Otherwise known as the #8 Catch-all. What a great fly.
I hunt, therefore I am.... I fish, therefore I lie.

Started fishing the pats stone last year, been using them all summer and it is one heck of a fly for sure.

Okay, so when I google Pat's Stonefly, all I come up with is a rubber-leg nymph.  That's not what you're talking about, right?  You're fishing dries, right?  Can someone post a pic?

Yeah that’s it, I use jimmy leg pats  stones which are the ones with knotted legs. And on this trip there were too many other bugs on the surface for the fish to eat, I only caught one on a dry.

Sometimes it takes something just a bit different, to talk them into biting.
 Looks like you have the winning recipe Birdgetter.  :drool: ( You're Fly reminds me of a Water Strider ).

Definitely one of the best multipurpose flies out there. As ubiquitous  as a Hares Ear nymph. Good for stoneflies, large mayflies, dragonfly nymphs, sculpin, small crustaceans; and just overall attractors.

Hmm... thanks guys.  I'll have to tie some of these up.  Don't have any.  I usually don't do a lot of rubber-legs stuff, but I'll have to make an exception. :tup:

Right wing shooter, I aim for the left!!!

Nowhere in your incoherent rambling did you come close to what can be considered a rational thought. Everyone is now dumber having heard it. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.
