I wish! It's just from a company called PikeTrek who make Pike fly gear.. pretty sweet reel and rod though!

Sweet vid! What kind of fly is that?

It's an olive wooly bugger.... the bugger is the go-to pattern on this lake (as I'm sure is the case for many bodies of water )


Got out on the lake again today - decided to take a pic rather than a vid haha

 

[ChaseChrome]

Beautiful fish!!!
Never mind the WB...

 

[BackwoodsBassr]

Sweet vid man and a beauty fish in the pic! I've been soaked by a beaver from the tail slap. It scared the $#!+ outta me.

Well maybe a dumb question, but still new to fly fishing. Are you just casting that wooly bugger and letting it sit out there? Or like a slow retrieval?

 

[Dozer]

That is one fantastic looking rainbow.

The lake had some chop, so the bugger was suspended underneath a strike-indicator. The chop gave it an undulating motion which seems to entice the fish! I've caught them in the same lake with a slow retrieve when the water is calm.

That is one fantastic looking rainbow.

Thanks, Dozer!
