12/13/2008 11:07:00 AMNice to finally see a report on LW. Good going! If I recall your "special rig" was a small flasher and white fly??? If so do you move at a speed where the flasher rotates in a full circle?

12/13/2008 11:59:00 AMQuad - Gotta check the stomach contents so we can, "match the hatch", so to speak. Plus, it keeps the kid interested!
Snake - I haven't been on the rivers yet but I do see myself doing some prime time fishing during the upcoming holidays! I'm thinking Green, Sno and Sky! And yes it was my only cutt of the day, I think I've been trolling too shallow the past few times I've been out. I spoke with a guy who regularly fishes for them at 70'+ using cut plug herring and said he does quite well.
SlimySlab - If I'm using a flasher I want it to rotate so I adjust my speed accordingly. If you use a metal flasher, like an Abe and Al, you can tune it to rotate at a slower speed which can be the ticket at times. I've also used a dodger and done well, it gives the hoochie a slightly different action and the bows seem to like it better. I've found that the small 4" hot-chip and pro-chip flashers can't handle the drag of anything larger that a small dick night or streamer fly so don't waste your time with them. Also, Hot-Spot has a new 5" mini flasher that showed promise but it to couldn't handle the drag of the small hoochie I've been using.
