Beauties! But are you sure it's open? And are you sure that's not a sturgeon?

Patterns?
Maybe the joys of bad hook geometry? Barbless flies don’t cause me no problems that I can tell.

You’re probably right. I also will blam at least 2 of the fish lost (if not more) on my stupidity

Heck, sometimes it is just how the cookie crumbles. Maybe the fish weren’t committing to the bug. Hard saying.
If it’s not a secret, what flies did you use?

I was using mostly a copper John but also got some bites on a hares ear
They were both jig nymphs of course.
Shaun Solomon
Standard copper? I used a lot of red and black too. Chartreuse and blue sometimes. I always loved John Barr’s bugs. He’s one of my favorite designers. Barr Emergers and Graphic Caddis always had several rows in my boxes, and I mostly fished my own patterns. They are just too good not to fish.

I agree with you here, they were green copper johns.

No doubt Brook Trout are the most beautiful trout.
