Not if the first hook was cut off.

FF, do you mind if I ask what weight spey rod that is?  I've got an 8/9 and am wondering whether it might be up to the challenge.  I'm guessing you're using a 9/10?

Not to be a black clowd over this great report and that great pic, but I am dismayed to see those 5th wheels and campers in the background...does anyone else feel the same (I am making an assumption that they're from a bunch of flossers).  Had that fish gone up the other side of the river he could have been greeted with a larger hook in the side of the face and an unceremonious release covered in sand and gravel.

Am I right FF, were there lots of BB out when you hooked that fish?

Nice fish ff, thanks for the report.

Gooey, if that is Peg Leg there are still plenty of bouncers out there. Not all of the RV`s belong to them as we met a fellow who was bar fishing/camping for the week in his Winnebago. He managed a 24 inch jack spring and his daughter landed a jack spring when they first started camping. It`s to bad about all the bouncers out there still, I would like to bar fish some different spots on the bar but the gauntlet of them covers most of the better water.

Yup them bouncers just dont know when to stop. One day they will ruin it for everyone. The Spey rod I used Is a sage 9141 with a 8/9 skagit head so your 8/9wt rod will work fine I just hope that the fraser clears up a little. Yes the first hook was cut off and the camera is a Canon Powershot S3 IS just picked it up a couple of weeks ago and I am really impressed with it so far. Anyways heading back up to the Pitt so tight lines all

Don't forget, no one has ever flossed a fish while flyfishing! I believe some of the campers belong to bar-fishers. The lower section of the Peg is too slow to bounce well. A fly rod with a sinking line just might do the trick.  8)
