It makes blood knots much easier to tie…. Cammeron yours should be in this week. I have a few extra if anyone is interested.
Looks like you had fun.
I’d like to take this opportunity to make a quick plea about taking pictures of our fish.
I have seen tons of photos, not only on this site but on all the others as well, of fish lying on dirt, snow, rocks, grass etc., etc. Please, unless you’re planning on killing the fish for dinner, don’t lay the fish on the ground. You are increasing the risk of causing injury by damaging the slime coat or picking up foreign matter. Use your landing net as a quick background, over the water, or hold the fish loosely (don’t choke the poor thing) in your wet hand for a quick snap and then return it.
As a group, fly fisherman are very concerned about catch and release, preserving our quarry. We’ll use barbless hooks and buy special nets but we toss the fish on the ground to take a photo.
