Patagonia SST and Ed McCoy

Had the opportunity to fish with Ed McCoy the other day, and captured him releasing this wild steelhead.  Ed is wearing one of the best rain coats on the market the Patagonia SST.  Patagonia Fly Fish just posted this image on there Instagram account.  Thanks Ed for being a good sport and letting me keep your hands cold a few moments longer.

ESL old standby

New and fancy patterns are always coming out, but sometimes going old school is the best policy.  The ESL is a standard pattern.  ESL stands for Egg Sucking Leech.  Yesterday we got on the board with a fresh steelhead up from the lake that very morning, if I had to guess.  On a orange headed black rabbit strip egg sucking leech.
