A late report....

While the ban is on, you have to try to come up with some fishy stuff to do.. I have this notion of catching a flounder or two on fly, in my head for a while now. When I first started fly fishing I had a flounder as a by catch one evening and it put up quiet a scrap...so a plan was hatched.... I arrived and set up the yak, with ever so simple equipment on board. I paddled to the spot and dropped anchor and began fishing a Rio T-11 sinking line with a small black clouser (a size 4 I think, and a small bit of lure-flash and red eyes).The ground under me is sandy..with a run off from an estuary....and here is where I went wrong (I think??) I fished the last hour of the flood on...and I had no takes at all...but I did manage a new species on fly...lasso style! At least I was in the zone! I think I should be there at the last hour of ebbing tide...ah well...this is how you learn I guess... So..after a bit i moved to deeper water to test my poor fly fishing skill's on the ever so willing Pollack...ha..they did not fail me, but all were a little on the fish finger side.......
