A Year In The Life - Day 70, July 30, 2014

Today, a shot of a fly after the monster of the day smashed - and I mean SMASHED it.  This was a new fly, about 6-6.5 inches long, and new leader.  The amount of teeth in the mouth of that pike (and his weight during the fight of course) peeled the coating off the leader, kinked/crimped it, and then tangled the fly up like the nest of a Norway rat....Yikes....
