      @brentbeachem9160 Haha, the rainbow sherbet squid blob. I have to give credit where credit is due. The sherbet blob is my friend Walter's pattern. I just added the flexi floss tail to create the squid blob 😁

    I was on the lake in a boat with my brother at the same time these guys were. We caught 18 but only one big one. They let water out of Jordanelle the day before and their was alot of debris in the water and the turbidity was up. That wind made it cooooollld!

    Funny how we have lakes all to ourselves this time of year and.. pre ice up they are on the bite. Ice in the guides. Lines sticking with the drag . So much fun.

      I tried fishing with my sink tip, but I only got three casts in before my guides completely froze up. It is a fun time to watch an indicator

    Is the squid blob a variation on anything we might know how to tie? SUch as an egg sucking leach etc?

    • @TroutHowler
      @TroutHowler  10 днів тому

      @briangasser7631 it's simple. I just add some fulling mill micro flexi floss as a tail. I take a strand of orange, pink and yellow flexi floss and fold them in half twice then cut it so you have a total of 12 pieces. I show the fly right around the 1:20 mark

    You guys are fishing about where the highway turns toward the Island Boat Ramp, along the steep rocks? I'm a former resident and with the fog I can't quite place where you're at. Appears to be great fishing. I miss that Wasatch Country.

      Well in this particular video the location is in the title. I also show the flies we were using at the 1:21 mark of the video. It's considered a no no to hot spot small lakes that could be negatively affected by increased fishing pressure---most of my videos are of the smaller mountain/backcountry lakes. I don't name those lakes for that very reason. Most UA-cam fishing channels share that sentiment. I name places like the reservoir in this video that are very well known and are large enough to handle the pressure. I typically try to show what I'm using in my videos but sometimes I simply forget in the moment. I will try to do better on that front 😁
