Lake trout fishing
Although my first love is the river I do have fun tying crazy flies for still-water trouting. I recall that when I ran the Wednesday night dressing classes for local club members we used to create some pretty wacky flies over a glass or two of barley wine, yet these strange creations do catch good lake trout.
The following images (plus a video) will show what I mean.

The 'Boss' frequently catches more than the lads, when in action with her trusty fly-rod.

Great days with the fly rod.
