Texokie! Merry Christmas!
Her boots do not look like snake skin! Troutskin!

[PICTURE OF HYUUUUUGE TROUT!]

(This is where that trout comes from! https://news.orvis.com/)

So! Texokie, how long will the blackout be, do you think? Will we do a lot of sliding waiting for scraps of news!

(Did the trout slide this off into Food? Or is it a "Current Events" worst 10-Style slide? Do I need to worry about RitaOK or Ransomnote?)

AND MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU TOO, PETE!

Wow! you do seem to be right about the boot. Ain't snake - or lizard - but TROUT!

As far as trout blackout.... found these odds and ends:

o start with I would of rated the trip 5 but I didn't catch the big one. That wasn't for Kerry's lack of trying its just happens that way on some days. Kerry put us on to a few great spots and the Spanish Mac were there but just got busted.

I spent 20 mins or so flexing my muscles against a true predator but couldn't get it off the bottom which was a bit of fun on light gear. In the end I came home with a 3kg coral trout that kept us feed for 2 meals. Its amazing what you can fit into your carry on.

Highly recommend Blackout for the inner Reef!More

https://www.bigyflyco.com/Black-Out-detail.htm

The theory in fly fishing has been when it is dark, fish light, and when it is light, fish dark. This rings true both in lighting conditions and water quality conditions. The Black Out is here to help change that thought a bit.

Typically a darker pattern is more difficult for a fish to see in dark condition. This pattern uses UV thread, red wire, and a light tail to help counteract that. The end result is a dark silhouette fly with "hot” colors to attract the fish. This combination has been especially lethal when fishing in the Czech/euro style of nymphing.

Imitates: Attractor, Caddis
Species: Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, Grayling, Brook Trout, etc.
More Info: Attractors

[Let's see if we can draw some flies with THAT, Pete! "Fly Fishers," that is!]
