…I was standing in a river, practicing my greased line swings with a floating line and a 10″ Rock Island flatwing. My casting was good enough. My presentations were spot on. The bass were…not there. At least not in any numbers. We saw some wakes and swirls made by herring, but nothing to suggest that they were present en masse. We heard a couple reports of bass crashing bait, but they were in the first 30 minutes of our 2+ hour session, and then nothing. So it goes. This is why it’s called putting in your time.

I admire your tenacity and perseverance. I most admire your honest reporting. Look forward to the good or bad when it comes to trout, stripers or steelhead. Thanks.
Bob, I appreciate that so much. You’ve heard me say that I have nothing to sell you but the truth. 🙂
Steve any worm hatches down your way? I hit my first one the other night and it was like dry fly fishing for Stripers! Bill
I’m sure there have been, but I haven’t witnessed any. Then again, I haven’t been out for stripers a lot this year. Glad you had fun! 🙂
