Just when you think you have seen it all , or better still when you think you know it all , then comes along Chet K who refuses to fish with anything but a bomber . Chet booked in for the last week of August because that is when it is typically the best dry fly fishing , but we had high water and even a flood by weeks end . Does not matter , Chet fished the bomber anyway and had 70+ salmon to the fly , and on Tuesday with the water 3 feet high he had 12 fish to the fly , hooking 4 of them . Chet does agree with one of my approach’s to fly fishing though , he does not count landed fish , he counts action , he and I rate our success for the day by how many salmon or trout we had to the fly or hooked up . Much like upland hunting , it is not about how many birds you kill it is about how many birds the dog puts up .
