Toaday was a great day on the water...Phil and I hit a spot we haven't fished since he tipped his yak there last year. IT started slow, but then gained momentum...We both boated about 8 fish...Some bangers in the mix for sure. I got to test out a new rod and break it all in the same day....Killer rod though...Cortland Diamond Back 10ft 7wt....I mixed it up by using my leader kit from Rio...A fast sink 15 foot section was added to a 350 grain line....I was able to chuck 8 inch streamers 70 feet like it was a dry fly. I started the day by using some small streamers and bouncing some Sili Craws....I was hitting decent fish but not the ones I wanted...
Out came the big flies..
8 inch, articulated bucktail streamers....Yup...second cast and slam....PIG in the boat...Lock and reload....Very next cast...Pig in the boat....BIG FLIES>>>BIG FISH...I sell these flies as well if anyone is interested....or any other color combo you might like....
Very nice. I'm jealous.
