Wow cfm! That was one long thrashing!

I have silvers and chums chase flies all the time. The will follow it on the swing and nail it, that is of course IF they aren't decorated like a christmas tree, complete with size 5 blue foxes, size 12 corkies with 4/0 hooks, and my personal favorite.... the infamous treble with lead attached below the hook (I doubt its the fly fishermen that do such a nice job decorating these fish.) I've seen some pretty nice flossing jobs done with drift gear using a small corky, a little yarn, and a long leader!
