"Spinning" out in the high country.

[doggonefishin]

Due to family commitments, I didn't have time to head to Strawberry like the rest of the state, but I did have time to float a more local high country lake that I frequently fish for a few hours. It was raining lightly the entire time I was up there, but conditions were still pleasant in the tube with suitable raingear. The troutlings however, were not as interested in the usual offerings as they typically are. I had only caught a few in a couple hours. I then tied on a wooly bugger with a tiny spinner blade on the front and tossed that around for a bit. Holy cow!, the fish went nuts for that fly! It didn't seem to matter whether it was kick trolled or stripped, they were pounding it. In the final hour I was there, I had constant action, and some surprisingly nice fish were caught too.

This is the first time I have used I have used this type of fly. (Pistol Pete type wooly buggers) With the help of the illustrious (or infamous[]) TD, I have played around, with impressive success, with spinner enhanced jigs in my warmwater fishing. It appears that this enhancement style also makes certain flies deadly. I can't wait to try these things at Strawberry. Do any of you have experience with these flies and/or have suggestions in their use?
