Shoulder got a nice break while reverting to the Dark Side.
More of the same tomorrow with same guide... but this time Sage Prostaffer George Cook is comin' along for the ride.
Fishing with Speymaster Cook was a blast today, but gotta admit that FOD (fish of the day in AK West vernacular) came to BabyGotBack 2 equipped with the 5/0 sickle. OMFG! that hook was 100%.... 3 for three on a brand new swimmer!
BTW the other hot plug (eyeFISH 2009 ifish.net Kwik) has been re-named named Dirty Copper (as in the famous movie line "You dirty copper!") has gone an astounding 11 for 12 on a SINGLE 3/0 sickle. Music to thine ears Ripley-san?
The undisputed Speymaster amongst the week's guests at AK West was none other than infamous George Cook. Larger than life in the flyfishing and Speycasting world, even this dyed-in-the-wool Master Jedi fly-flicker could not resist the power of the Dark Side.
After hearing about our first day's success with Dirty Copper over a round of appetizers, he was ready to get down and dirty the next day... even wore his finest copper shirt just for the occasion.
(Thanks for forwarding the pics, Sparkey!)
