April Slab of the Month Submission: Iraqi Bonefish

Hey Chum,

Currently deployed over in Iraq and a buddy and I decided to hit one of Saddam Hussein's lakes early before work this morning.  This bronze slab hit my #10 woolly bugger without hesitation.  He was rooting in the moss stirring up damsels and the like and was coming back around when he spotted my fly.  The 4X tippet held up well and I was able to get this shot.

There is several of us belonging to a Baghdad Fly Fishing Club in which we meet up and fish together when there is a window of opportunity.  All of our gear is donated by folks back in the states.  Thanks to all for the opportunity to combat fish!
