Thanks guys
The Helgramite pattern is a killer for trout and bass.  The eyed magot is good for steel n salmon.  The eggs I threw in just because :)

Finally started..........
 

That's cool, I keep buying $30 lures and forgetting to buy fly hooks up there ..  I have materials only no hooks except for the SRS size 4 ..
Gonna spend some time shopping next week, hope they don't have their ice gear out already, lol
 

All Seasons got the hooks Rich,go for it! I'm at my daughters for a week and will tie my second batch while here....the BH Prince,the Salmon and Steel like them!

Uglyfish handed his in and they look great. Starting to look like an impressive batch of SR specials.....

I am half done, will have them ready by next week

We blew our last window of opportunity on hitting the lake by sleeping late and going out for breakfast . Figured with the crashers all night it wasn't going to be worth an early rise . The lake played a little nice in the early am but is now a churning sea.

Did hit up all seasons and got my stock up of hooks and hackle. Going to whip some flies up in a frenzy when I get back home and will have something to bring to the table .

Guys itching to ply the SR waters should give it a go / scout on the Labor Day release . Right now the river is low and I wouldn't even bother taking the time unless there is nothing better in life's schedule , then again I guess life is all about searching :)

Be sending you a pm soon Charlie

Thanks for the report , HT, sorry the lake did not smile. I had planned on a Saturday trip to UFZ, but my new hobby, attending funerals, hit again for this week, maybe I'll get a day on LD weekend, and the next week I'm off to the daks for my "no permit needed" three nights and four days of (hopefully) playing with grasshopper and caddis eating brookies.  The fish that were 10-11" last year were mostly 12-13" when I was up in August, at that size they start to get interesting.  And I finally did what I thought was impossible , I got a double , two on one rod, an 8 incher that took a royal coachman wet, and a 12 incher that took the point, a damsel larva.  Felt like a whale for a little while!

Funerals are the passing of life we try to avoid . More power to you L-13
As for a report from The land liners. Hope ....
Our summer fun play time is over out here . Big boy boats , crashers and river Run fish will be the norm now .
Adk specks , gosh . I wish . We are talking around the campfire about ausable browns & bows more then Great Lake runs.
Enjoy !!!

Guitar playing friend and former bandmate whose wife passed due to the Big C, far too young and as BJ said, only the good.  You can't skip those to go fishing.
