decided to try the Pass Lake. Wow! It seemed like every fish in the area rose
to that thing. I was fishing semi-dry...treated the wing with floatant, and
let
the body settle into the surface film. I switched back and forth with the EHC
as a reality check, but the P.L. outcaught it three to one. In true roffian
style, I didn't keep an accurate count, but I caught a bunch of brookies from
fingerling size to about 9", two wild browns, both about 9", and a 16"
rainbow
that had wandered up from downstream.

The P.L. soesn't even remotely resemble anything that hatches on that river,
but the fish didn't seem to care today.

This pattern seems to travel well. I have had great success with it on The
White River in Arkansas in an area where only sow bugs work on a regular basis
for me. I think it has something to do with the way it sits in the water with
that chenille body. It kind of reminds me of a smaller sized Rio Grande King
that I used to use in Colorado 20 or 30 years ago.
