Dan ... that trout was caught on a rare wet fly no longer available anywhere, so far as my BIL and myself have been able to determine.
My BIL obtained some many years ago from an "old fishing gentleman" and we've been using from that dwindling stock ever since. He's trying to locate the closet he can find. We may have to resort to hiring a custom fly tier to reconstruct some by looking at a photo.
That was just about the only fly that connected on this recent trip, as well as on many other trips. It brought in several nice trout a few weeks ago for a great fish fry at our dry camping site in the trees along the shore of the lake.
Viva California. ;)
