Suntech Field Master returns to the Peñasco

Here's a pic of a typical 8-inch brown from my return trip to the Rio Peñasco with the Suntech Field Master. The 11-incher I caught and released on my first trip is still the largest I've caught with the rod. The Utah Killer Bug is still working its magic, and I also had success with a hare's ear nymph. I caught three browns today when I give the flies a little action - it seemed to be more effective than a dead drift.

As age slows my pace, I will become more like the heron.

We've all had situations where seriously chewed up flies kept catching fish after fish after fish. It is no sin to tie flies that come off the vise looking seriously chewed up.
