nice job lon!!! i love that river..that wind is a pain though.. its hard to keep your hat from blowing right off your head!!! :lol:
It sure seemed to work, unlike the attachment funtion for pictures.
Not a very polite or experienced rattlesnake that's for sure. I'll remember the soft hackle idea on my next trip.
I'm so behind on my fly tying so I better get with it.its fun as heck on a river like that..they follow it all the way across and SMASH!!!
Rattlesnakes won't rattle unless they feel threatened (at least that was my 10 year experience in Arizona)...
Fixed.Sounds like a fun time 'cept for the wind. Lucky OTF wasn't with you, he would have molested the snake with his rod tip....hehe. I am ready to go back for a few days of camping and fishing soon......
In the Arizona deserts there are large reserviors (particularly near Phoenix).i absolutely hate snakes i am an absolute wreck when i fish around shearers, also was the same way fishing crooked river down below smith rock, you guys can have them stretches of river.
