I see "deer hair" and "bug", thus my knee jerk reaction is surface fly (ie. bass bug) LOLBillTheDogWalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14299962440576149344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7714338699999108574.post-61729102927808118912013-10-22T13:13:22.436-04:002013-10-22T13:13:22.436-04:00Thanks, Bill.

I suppose they ride a little higher, but the deer hair is loosely packed, so they're not all that naturally buoyant. I did see the salmon grab them from just under the surface though, which is always fun. <br /><br />Yeah, the dry fly thing is usually best early on. That said, the first Naugy dry fly action I ever had was on the third day of a three day hot streak in mid-November a few years back. It got into the mid-to-upper 70s all three days. So I guess it's not impossible...you just have to get lucky. At this point, I'd rather have rain and high water though!

That's got to be a sight to see an Atlantic hit your fly on the surface. I'm assuming as the days get colder, that surface strikes will be rare to none.
