Hi Everybody!
My buddy Roy Saunders always looked forward to the Stanley Cup Play-offs when he lived on Vancouver Island. Yes the hockey play-off were on but Roy went looking for his fly rod because he knew the sea run cutthroat were roaming close to the mouths of the rivers and creeks on the east side of Vancouver Island looking for salmon fry to dine on. When the salmon fry were released by hatcheries, the sea run cutts were close by to feed. Roy shared three excellent fry patterns that work great for cutthroats on the west coast. The mouths of the Oyster River and Sooke River are a great place to look for sea run cutthroats. Roy has tested these patterns out on Upper Kananaskis Lake and he was pleased to report that these patterns are a winner on our Alberta lakes too!
Thanks Roy for showing us these excellent patterns.
Next week we will be tying Blue Winged Olive patterns. Bring 8/0 olive thread. We will be tying on small hooks!
Remember that the IF4 Film Festival is March 21st. Buy your ticket right HERE.
