Yeah. Hard times for fly casters yesterday with a sustained 15 knot southwest blow in our faces (and an especially unfavorable quarter for lefties) with some stronger gusts mixed in. I debuted my new custom two-hander, but I don’t have the right lines for it yet and it wasn’t the synergy I know I’ll eventually enjoy. Still, some small bass were brought to hand, and they felt like giants in a ripping moon tide.
A Soft Hackled Flatwing in RLS Easterly colors (grey dun and fluorescent yellow) caught the eyes of several feisty schoolies. The colors really popped in yesterday’s conditions.
I didn’t notice a two hander down there, but wasn’t paying much attention, other than to the wind and fish. What are you using for an overhead fly rod?
Hi George, the new two-hander is a 12′ 9″ custom build from Mike Oliver in England.As I still need to find the right line(s) for it. But the possibilities are tantalizing….
Steve,
Received the flies yesterday.
Thanks again, can’t wait to try them on some waiting trout.
Thanks again,
Ron
Sounds awesome!
It was is in its own spectacular way.
