Medium fish, XXL fly.

Rainbow trout in the Kanektok and Arolik Rivers have a short season during which they can feed, so when it’s summer and the water conditions are good, they tend to pounce on flies that might be, oh, about 1/4 as long as they are.<
If you look closely at Cameron Miller‘s cool underwater photo above, you might notice that it’s interesting not only because the fly is big, but because the water is incredibly clear and also because that’s the butt of a lightweight spey rod between the angler’s legs. Sorry, those are posts for another day!
In case you’re wondering, that fly is a Hickman’s Egg Stealing Super Sculpin, by Idylwilde.
