Rainbow trout?

I know that rainbow trout are not usually on the forage menue on the atlantic coast for stripers or bules but hell I liked the way the trout pattern looked in the book and wanted to try it. The mack is more traditional.

Nice work. Like the eye detail. Stick with Etex, it just takes some trouble shooting like everything else. I suspect rod epoxy will be too soft.

Those are some handsome ballerinas. You will have a lot of fun catching with those. Try them in Barnstable Harbor... I have heard they work great there...

nice work man.

the trout is great and btw it catches stripers and blues no problem. I have trout redfin, it crushes fish, has all the right colors, pinks, greens and browns.

why the shrink tube on the back hook?

think you were at cms the other day getting your rod tip fixed right?

Not rainbows but there are deffinately still a small number of sea run brookies that make it to open water. Someone posted a video here or on fb about a state tagging project, I bet they'll love that. cool plugs btw, good luck with the etex lol!

something clever and related to fishing
