Just a little report for those looking for a recent report on the cutty action. Proffesori and myself ventured out for the morning to some back washes in search of a little Cutthroat action. It took some hunting around, but we did eventually find them. However Proff had some technical rod difficulties that ended his day soon after. For a window of about an hour there seemed to be constant interest. #8 Carey Specials, #10 Peacock halfbacks, and Proff's own creation "The River Dragon" all produced results on mostly feeder sized fish 12 inch range. With the highlight of bringing to hand a solid 18 inch wild buck. Another typical cutty report. There one minute and gone the next. But they are there for those willing to go and do some treking.

Yeh he's got that kind of mug. He seemed calm and content while I held him. No revival needed. He shot off like a bullet the moment I set him back. I think he was playing me.

Nice work Kev! I just got back from Whistler after a few days away with my wife. No fishing! I guess I'll just have to get by from reading your report for now...

Nice fish Finder 8) My bro landed a beauty a couple days ago when we where out looking for steelys. I used to target them in the Fraser during the winter when I would run out of money and had to ride my bike to the river. Awesome fish though and definatly worth the effort.

Well worth the effort made trying to find them. It's always nice to know there's still beautys like that out there. Even better when they still have the addy attatched.

Welcome back FFM..

I pulled this photo off a thread on the FFBC sister site. Hope you don't mind Proff. It's a great cutty pattern, that'll be a staple in my box.

No problem Finder. Actually the fly is a river dragon and the recipe and another picture are on the sister site's fly patterns. I may head out tomorrow again. This time I'll take 2 rods. On Sunday I made 2 casts with a 4 piece 4 wt I had just built before Christmas, on the third cast the rod just snapped in two in the middle of the second section. That was it for me for the day. Got home and emailed the guy I bought the kit from, and the replacement blank should arrive Thursday. Anyone having any dealings with Jack Simpson in Williams Lake, you are dealing with a real gentleman. I had a reply, with assurances that my problem would not be one for long, within 20 minutes of sending my email out. This was 4:00 pm New Year's Eve!!!
