It is interesting to know that Bruce was "matching the hatch and conditions" like all pro fishermen tell everyone to do. Many casual anglers do not take that information to heart, but those who do are regularly successful. Bruce may elaboraate more on that topic in a PBoss magazine article about his trip (hint, hint).
It is also very interesting to me the CNBG males tend to not have noticably larger gill flaps, but the black scale tipping on the nape / forehead persists. Very important features when dealing with CNBG.
