Last fall Craig Mathews sent me these pictures.
He wrote: "I wanted you to know your Aliens worked yesterday on huge Yellowstone cutthroat trout to 24”. A friend and I fished them all afternoon. We took 20 plus big fish on them"

Well Bill, I was fishing our river on Saturday and while I wasn't killing it, it was a glorious day to be out on the stream.

This was my best catch of the day -- some elderly gentleman came up to me on the stream and pegged me as a connoisseur of fine locally produced maple syrup...obviously he's a great judge of character.

Leaves are turning and 2021 is winding down...time to turn my attention to small stream brookies back home.

Gerard, nicely photographed. I thought that was a jar of moonshine initially.

I can tell you from personal experience that both big and small Western cutthroat and brown trout like Jay's orange and black bugs 👍🏻
