For the most current saltwater fly fishing report >>>>

With overcast skies we worked shallow flats at drop off edges with crease flies, that brought us a number of large bluegill, yellow perch, and largemouth bass.

We switched over to light leaders and #5 slow sink lines using small woolie buggers and tubes , we scored repeatedly on bonus bluegill.

As dusk approached we waited for a small miller hatch coming off the water and switched back to floating lines and 7x tippets going for Bass, Bluegill.  One of the young children that was with us caught a large red-eared sunfish, and we are having it evaluated for the possibility of a State record in that category.

The second day was about as perfect as it can be for bigfish.  Heavy down pours all day kept the large bass in 1 foot and less of water.  I found them to be hugging the shoreline and shucking for crayfish that were active.

Using a "First Cast fly",,,,,John Brazelton @johnb1@inetw.net,,  rattle chamber crease fly,,,,my party scored on a number of large bass with the largest tipping the scales a slight over 4lbs. Not bad for a first timer.

We have had a few cancellations due to timing and ooopsssss I forgot to tell you I am on vacation so I do have a few weekend days open.  Check my site sign my guest-book and lets go fly fishing
