North 40 Fly Shop eMagazine October 2015 | Page 25

During the day, I did get a savage grab by a 9” Cutthroat.
The 14’ 8wt managed him nicely. Calvin got a tug. Sam
did battle with a scrappy King pushing 14 centimeters.
Paul snagged a squawfish. Bruce bullied up a 16” King
Jack. At some point, Paul supposedly landed the one and
only adult steelhead on a fly. I did not see it happen and
he was using a MOW tip, so it doesn’t count…as much,
though, I’m sure he’s kind of happy.
Thanks to everyone who came out and met us in the new
North 40 Outfitters Fly Shop in the Lewiston Idaho store.
As you know, you’ve got a great river in your backyard.
I just picked the wrong day. As my friend Matt from up
in Moscow used to say, “I’d like to book one yesterday
and two tomorrows.” Let us know if there is anything you
need to improve your time out on the water. Tight Lines,
