[QUOTE="Trout Bum, post: 33677, member: 433"] Thanks for all the responses. It seems like the determining factor is shank shape, though it also seems open to interpretation, making it somewhat of a grey area... I wonder, does anyone know the history of these shapes and how they were actually named? I kind of get "bulldog," but what about "rhodesian?" At any rate, the fishing was fun but a bit slow... most likely due to fairly low water temps (fishing just over 8000 feet in mid November). l Fished the upper Gunnison and the East River... I only landed three fish, but they were nice trouties, all over 15 inches. The highlight was hooking a 24 inch (6 pounds??!!) or so monster brown on a size 20 midge pattern, and immediately watching this fish vault 4 feet straight out of the water and spit the dimunitive hook... it was sa-weet! Also worth mentioning was the bowl of Paul Olsen's My Own Blend #333 I enjoyed streamside in a little prince shaped basket pipe. Ah... tobacco and trout fishing; like campfires and smores! [/QUOTE]
