MAINE - Life in the Slow Lane
Very nice Mike
What size are those, 10 or 12??? I could use a bunch of those any time.

Hey Mike I hope you catch a butt load thursday. I went out again today landed 3 little brown trout. No size but a tug on the line just the same. The little black stone flies are out in full force. I also saw some nice size may flies coming off the water. I am so happy to be out there enjoying the water and the weather . Sorry no pictures wife took camera to work. Will try to get some Sat if the weather holds up. Dave V

I was serious about that size, if I use flies that big for trout I won't catch very many. I really like smaller flies anyway and streames on size 12 long or short shank hooks are the nuts as far as I am concerned. If I fish this weekend I will be using small streamers (Golden Deamon) for LL Salmon at Alton Bay. And the best trout I ever caught was about 20 to 22 inches and 4 lbs on a size 18 pheasent tail nymph, dead drift.

Hi Lee
"size 18"
Next you will be trying to tell me that size is one of your larger high water flies.
Stephen
To be truthful I would love to fish 
for those sea run Brook Trout in the Little Southwest Miramichi with small nymphs dead drift, but you need weight on the line and I don't think that is legal 
there. If you find one fish seems like there are a bunch in the same pool. And believe me with a strike indicator and dead drift you would catch a bunch of fish. 
Lee
Yup size 2's and 4's 4xl shank Lee....seriously.
Here are some Black Bugs (Shady Lady's) I tied this afternoon...gotta keep busy on rain days when there is no work........I managed to tie 2000 flies this winter
Mike: Edit this post and see how I make the photo show in the post and use a lightbox to display full size. Lee
2000 fly's, holy crap I did good to get 20 tied. Things just kind of fell off after I had to do some reports for work on my own time at home. and was forced to clea up my flytying room, ok well it's not that clean but I had to put my flytying stuff away. Ya I'd like to get out and try for sea trout It's really big arounf Juniper in June.

Got some streamers geared up for whenever I get out....our trout season opens Thursday.
Mike - I edited the post so the picture will show in the post, click on it and full size will show in a lightbox.
