Look around there and you'll see more of my Olympics pictures.

Lovely pic. Were you swinging flies for these fish or nymphing?

Thanks JR.

I use what I call the "Karsten Rig". It's actually nymphing single egg
patterns. Start with a dink float, also known as a Canadian float, put
a split shot down the leader a bit more than the depth of the water,
then a foot below that the first single egg, Below that about 18
inches another egg, usually a different color. When fishing in the fly
fishing only section of the park you have to leave out the split shot,
so I use weighted eggs up there.

The dink float I use is about 4 inches of 1/2 inch diameter hard foam
with a piece of tubing inserted at each end. The tube enters the
middle of the end, and protrudes from the side about an inch from the
end. The tubes are usually not big enough to get knots through, so you
need to put the tube on the butt section of the leader before adding
the rest. The line is threaded in one end of the float, wrapped around
once or twice, and then comes out the other end. I usually use 8 feet
or so of 20 pound Maxima ultragreen for the butt section, then a foot
of 15 pound below the float, then another foot of 12 pound to the first
fly and 10 pound on to the last fly. The split shot slide against the
15-12 pound knot and don't slide down to the fly. This sounds like it
would be hard to cast, but the only hard part is the split shot. The
haevier it is, the harder the casting.
