This fly was catching like a beast, atleast 5 or 6 rainbows, one northern pikeminnow which i have in a freezer as they are invasive in here if i understood correctly, still new to this but i think they are eating domestic eggs of salmon and trout
The pikeminnow was 48cm – 19inch and the rainbow about the same maybe smaller by an inch
– canada, BC

Deer hare popper?
Looks kinda like a googly eyed muddler minnow.
As for pikeminnow, they’re probably not invasive in BC. In some places, like reservoirs created by hydroelectric dams, they can be in higher numbers than a free flowing river as they are slow-water adapted predators. For the most part, they are an upstanding member of the native aquatic fauna of the West that gets a bad rap because of stuff people did.
