[Jackfish]

Hell yeah, the pictures of the fish on the previous page did too!

every fish took me into the backing at least 10m exept the 4.5 pounder as I caught it in a small stream

the 3.5 pounder took me a least 30m into my backing

Its great listning to the fly reel scream for at least 30 seconds non-stop

Nice fat brown there!
You can fish bead headed wooly buggers in much the same way with a floating line [or [i:2hkj40zt]were[/i:2hkj40zt] you using a floating line?] when you strip it rises in the water slightly and when it sinks, because of the bead head, the marabou tail gives a very nice looking flutter.
