[cool]A friend from Santa Barbara, where I lived a few years, just posted this on the California Board of BFT. He is the major rep for the Hammer Lures, and is a bit "prejudiced", but he offers some good info.
One of the things I liked was his use of single hook trap hooks in the swimming tails of his lures. Trout are notorious for nipping at the tails of flies and lures, and this evidently helped hang a few of them.
By the way, Lake Cachuma is a lot like Deer Creek, in size and fishability. It has a number of different species, but the big steelhead strain rainbows are a blast to catch.
