THAT'S WHAT EMILIE IS TALKIN ABOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!

( HERE IS EMILIE WITH"BRUTUS"-Her first steelhead ever!- TAKEN AT 4:45P.M, AFTER AT LEAST 15 BOATS FISHED THAT RUN DURING THE DAY-SO,WHEN THE FISH IS READY TO BITE-HE IS ON HIS OWN TIME-NOT ON THE FISHERMAN'S TIME!)

(Doc's first steelhead ever!)

(Doc's second- and the rest is history!)

In another episode of "that's what I'm talkin about", I had the pleasure of guiding Dr. Lushinsky and his lovely daughter Emilie from Indianapolis on Friday .It was going to be a boat show so we did the 10:00-6:00 afternoon bite. Once again we were right on the money, baby! Since it a 10 F brutally cold start in the morning, the water was ripe and warm by the afternoon. A good bet to judge when the fish will be on the bite is when the stoneflies start to wiggle and hatch and the females come back to lay the eggs- then ITS "THAT'S WHAT I'M TALK'IN ABOUT TIME"

Both the Doc and Emile never caught a steelhead!- and never saw one up close and personal.

WELL..........the steely train came in came into town for both these guys ! Emilie and Doc picked up the casting, drifting and presentation within an hour.....and the rest was history and on digital Nikon!

CONGRATS GUYS- AND TO MANY MORE STEELHEAD ON THE FLY TO COME!!!

Would love to share the hot fly with ya'll- but that would be letting the proverbial"cat out of the bag"- or in this case"live cougar"-right Ricky Bobby??

Let's just say it was two versions of a pattern that if you look and poke around this web site, you might find it!
