DF&F 52 for January 21, 2012: Cutthroat Trout
Running down to Eugene, Oregon to give a talk tonight, but wanted to get this up before I left. (And seeing that is about to snow for real here, who knows what time I’ll be back?)
As discussed previously, Jeff and I are pre-announcing each week’s DF&F 52 fish and/or fly ahead of time. We are doing that so that (hopefully) a few readers with brushes of their own will follow along. If you happen to fall into that category, please try to either link back to one or both of our blogs, or post a link to your blog in our comment areas. We’d like to see what you’re up to! That said, the DF&F 52 subject for January 21, 2012 is:
Cutthroat trout*
(I’m thinking Yellowstone cutt )
Remember the rules, too: 30 minutes maximum start to finish. That includes things like scanning time if you’re doing something digitally enhanced, but not set-up time for paper, paint, etc., or scanning time for a fully finished piece. Beyond that, there are no rules, so go for it!
*If you’re feeling up to it, combine it with a Chernobyl Ant—both Jeff and I will.
Jason,
I was just about to request! Yell Cutt plus hopper or something meaty! Probably someday in the future, I would expect to see whitefish plus beadhead nymph….maybe.
Whitefish plus BH is a good combo. Maybe not the prettiest combo, but it sure is a realistic one for anybody who has ever fished the American West. I’ll add it to the list.
