Flies, Weamers.

This site isn't finished but the weamer section is close to complete.


That's a nice fly Peter, I'm going to have to try it on our Dolly
Varden and Bull Trout.
And... That is a beautiful fish. It looks like a bright lake rainbow,
and I'm wondering if the steelhead in the midwest get the chrome bright
color they get in the ocean or if this is a difference between
anadromous and potadromous (thanks Ken)? Please don't read any stupid
provincial notion of superiority in ocean bred fish compared to lake
bred fish, I don't intend or believe in anything like that.

By the way, the weamer page has the same picture for the brown as the
smallmouth, and there are two matching alewives. I know it's under
construction, I just thought I'd mention what I noticed.

Thanks for the great post,

Our steelies come into the river as chromers then darken up as they
spend more time in the river system. This hen was beginning to show
some colour. They'll drop back to steel grey after spawning.

I know about the photos. Didn't like the original set as my old
camera had a lousy macro but the new one is a lot better so I'll be
having to shoot some new photos, including a better shot of the brown.
