A Scott in Japan, especially keen on mountains and fly fishing.

Yeah they do quite well, but I tend to tie more traditional style flat - wings to use here. Ken Abrames style.

I went to take a couple of casts from the dock this morning before getting started with work, and got a nice 18” bass, but also found an invasive crayfish in my minnow trap that has not been documented for my county yet... Even when I’m off the clock, the invasive species find me… time to report
Seabassing has started on Tokyo Bay. Slow start but it's coming.

Was asked about a booby alternative this week. These deer hair bombs are a blast from the past that is foam free but buoyant enough for sunk line work or to control a couple of nymphs on the washing line presentation.

I don't really like soldier palmers, but I find the muddler version reasonably useful.

Pink salmon spawning in a tributary of the Skagit. Incredible to see in person; an astounding biomass. As a fish biologist too poor to visit Alaska, seeing a healthy salmon run (~1 million humpies in the Skagit this year) has always been a bucket list item for me. I could have sat there all day.🐟

Murata Bamboo: “He is a famous bamboo rod builder in Japan. He lives in Kuromatsunai, Hokkaido, and is also an experienced fly fisherman. The rods he makes are practical, beautiful, and the best rods for catching trout.”

Yes I'll be using them for trout. Great top dropper in a wave.
More muddlers.. Silver invicta-esque but without a wing.
Probably best as a bright day top dropper with a couple of smaller nondescript patterns behind it.

Muddling up a storm now I've got the taste of it. 5 each of these flashy olive no-name jobs in size 10 & 12 freshly in my box this morning.
