Very nice pictures, specially the color on the Brookie...LOVE IT!
As far as the Pistol Pete (or Hummer I have heard them called) glad to see they are working.
I have TRIED them for years. Specially on Lakes that claim they are the ticket......NOTHING, TAUGHTA, ZILCH. And not just me, but every one else.
Never noticed any sound while casting them either. Cast like any other bugger.
Maybe I am not patient enough. There is a little lake in Idaho that I was told to use one, so myself and the others tried it to no avail.
I ended up putting a softhackle on and caught till my arm hurt, but I do think it could work on the high mountain lakes, have to give it a try on the Uinta fish.
TD, you put the bead after the blade?
They are a cool looking fly.
