#slumpbuster

I was able to introduce my new #newzealand friend to some local stocked brookies (thanks to @mass.wildlife). We tried dries and nymphs, but only the #slumpbuster was able to fool them. #flyfishing #newengland #epic686 #brooktrout https://www.instagram.com/p/CdIdsAHOVTq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Some flies tied this week. The Bob’s Bangers are for a “mini-swap” with @bruceski18 and the #slumpbusters are for @phwff in TX as part of @lifliesmike fly tying competition on his @discord. #flytying #bobsbangers #slumpbuster https://www.instagram.com/p/CCMr2bij-2m/?igshid=1fycs5ddjds54

It was nice to spend a couple hours today on the local stream. Low & clear with one trout willing to play. Fooled with the same olive #slumpbuster that’s caught about a dozen trout since last October. #flyfishing #newengland https://www.instagram.com/p/B8IH5aAB8DX/?igshid=1187z5t5ve1lg

The “monster” gills are getting active at the local pond. This one fought harder than the two bass caught yesterday. Once again, @mattfinfeathers “Finch” classic fly was the ticket. Also fooled a small bass with an olive #slumpbuster. #flyfishing #newengland #bass #bluegill #itm https://www.instagram.com/p/B_r0UQJjGTL/?igshid=1o6v4mgygusby

Nice afternoon on the local trout stream. Fooled a rainbow and pickerel on the Olive #slumpbuster and another rainbow on a dry. Amazing color variation between the two trout on the same stream about a mile apart. #flyfishing #newengland #rainbow #pickerel #stockers #rosycheeks https://www.instagram.com/p/B4GqZ05hIcW/?igshid=2hiota4isxc3

Replenishing my #slumpbuster stash with help from an Irish Stout. #flytying #happysaintpatricksday https://www.instagram.com/ginclear/p/BvFiAB_DcND/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=140vry0gt55xx

Netted one bow and pricked several more on the local stream throwing the classic @fenwickfishing / @pfluegerfishingofficial glass today. #glassisnotdead #flyfishing #slumpbuster https://www.instagram.com/p/Brdv7SNjC5X/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6ihh2m7sas9a
