B...More precisely, Mr. Jack is my Soft-hackle hero! Bridle Sparrow is my tribute tie for him. <br />I can't say if trout were nosing into weeds for sure. Although entire length of creek has healthy population of aquatic weed beds, the spot I was fishing could be a little tricky with weeds. Even if it would be 10-12 inch trout, it can be hard to pull out once they dive into weeds. <br />Reasons I judged trout were taking emerging nymphs are 1. they were rising without breaking surface 2. accumulation of stomach samples collected from those trout. <br />There are always something to learn at Livingston spring creeks...Lefty Angler & Flieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16789082426817692477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3769018525873317229.post-60230555859655459342013-03-27T17:45:56.719-06:002013-03-27T17:45:56.719-06:00Satoshi,

I first learned about your blog when I searched for tying videos on YouTube about his "Sparrow" and I found your video about the Brindle Sparrow. The story of the filter fly is on his website, perhaps you are already familiar with it.<br />I was wondering if the "slashing" feeding you were seeing was from their tails as they nosed into the vegetation after the emerging nymphs. This resulted in all the vegetative matter in your pump sample. Just an idea...keep up the interesting work.Smittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15792027671669931550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3769018525873317229.post-16708394195114275232013-03-26T23:15:43.976-06:002013-03-26T23:15:43.976-06:00Thanks for the info.

He thought maybe the fly was taken by the trout as a freshly molted stonefly which is very pale or "albino". Smittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15792027671669931550noreply@blogger.com
