I think I'm going to have to try the bottom variation for Bull Trout here in BC. Are you using squirrel for the throat as well?

Chris,
Just had to let you know that I tried your pattern for the first time today and did get one wicked hit on it. Only fished it for maybe 5 minuets and then a thunderstorm moved in and we decided to get the heck off the lake. I will be trying it next time out and hopefully will have a few fishy pictures to share.
Grant - way to go! I've done

He has some nice original patterns and adaptations of classics.
