Hi All,

I'd like to offer a safe haven from the political melee that
perpetuates our daily lives. *If you could, please follow-up with a
fishing tip of some kind to take our mind off the current steam heap.

TBone's Tip #1 - When exploring any major river fishing find the
tributaries and fish the seams where the water comes in. This creates
a plethora of differing reasons for fish to be there. From thermal
breaks to clarity differences and insects flowing down the tributary.
When you've thoroughly fished the seams, as well as slightly up and
down stream, explore the tributary itself.

TBones Tip - Pay attention! I was fishing last week in the Animas a
few days before my daughter's wedding. I was distracted and thinking
of that day, of the stuff to do, all kinds of things not related to
fishing. About then my line stopped and a huge, I mean huge, at least
6-7# fish rolled over my tippet and broke off. Has I been paying
attention, I would have at least had a chance.

I have a buddy that regularly throws his bug into the meat water and looks
down river or the other side of the river for new water. This last summer, I
set more fish for him that he did. I would see the fish and say "their
one"... He would hookup about 1/2 the time. I suppose it was kind of like
fishing for me even though I was on the oars...

Just back from 5 days of fishing for wild West Slope Cutthroat, tough coming
back to reality and the mess our country is in...

TBone's Tip: Bead and White - try modifying just about any wet fly
with a bead head or hide a bead under the thorax. The flash from
reflection can be a deadly addition to just about any pattern. Also, a
small amount of white antron as a splaying ball for forked tail
patterns, such as the prince and copper john, can make an extreme
difference as trout seem to key on white!
