Yes -- I think that's a truth for most anyone at some point or another.  It happens.  Honestly, the fish you deep hook and take a bit longer to handle are the ones you should really keep and eat just out of common sense.  It's a fairy tale to think that those fish actually survive when you turn 'em loose.  Barbless helps.  

You broke the rod or just the leader?

Very nice. 

Yesterday did the south fork at Alma from  9 to 3. A bunch of 6", 2-10", 1-12" and the proverbial monster that got away. 

6wt (which I broke) 3x leader green beadhead wooly buggers(they didn't like the black) and a green sculpin. 

The "One That Got Away" put up quite a fight in the current. I played it too hard and it broke the leader. Somewhere in the SF there's a ginormous smallmouth with a wooly bugger in its jaw. My fault. I feel bad. (Truth telling, Gene)

Oh, I dunno.  I usually do 'em with lead eyes, tail, and palmered up to the head.  Then I usually just dub something around the eyes to make a "head".  The one above is bead chain, but with some lead wire wrapped on the shank to essentially = lead eyes. 

 

Note that anyone telling you that there's a certain fly you "gotta have" in order to catch warm water fish is either a liar or someone who doesn't fish very much ;).  

 

It's killing me to get home instead of fishing on a Sunday -- but hopefully this prep for RMNP makes it worth while later this week!
