{{+1}}Shrek – original{{-1}}
{{start}}
This fly was out of left field as far as I am concerned and when first introduced to it had no great expectation of it finding its way into my fly box. I was wrong. The bright tinsel body certainly stands out and rather than spooking fish as I expected it seems to trigger a response from trout particularly in “smelt” water or slightly discolored or tannin water.{{end}}

{{+1}}Shrek- Chatto’s Fiona{{-1}}
{{start}}
A similar fly is also known as a "Bloody Mary" but I use the name 'Fiona' (Shrek's lady) as this fly is the same fly as the Shrek just different colored materials. Both are basically Woolly Buggers by design and just as the emerald green is a great option in the Shrek the red works well in combination with the black tail of the Fiona.{{end}}

These are of course that band of rivers and lakes that are below the winter permanent normal snow line and generally between 700 meters and 1200 meters above sea level but still subject to the harshness of alpine climates.{{end}}

{{start}}
Yabbies, shrimp, snails, scud and daphnia are perhaps the most dominant of crustaceans that fresh water fish feed on.{{end}}
{{+1}}Playing & netting fish{{-1}}
{{start}}
It's one thing getting hits when fly fishing but its a completely different thing actually landing it. Playing and netting fish are two aspects of fly fishing that get less attention than they deserve. This post just glosses the surface but it may help.{{end}}
