Neville has been following me for some time now, all the way from England. While he’s on holiday in the States this week, we had the time to meet up in Rhode Island for a lesson. We met at his rental in Point Judith, and tied a deer hair shrimp, my Grass Shrimp Solution, a Big Eelie, and then a Mutable Squid. That kept us busy for a couple of hours. Then we geared up and headed to an estuary to practice the greased line swing and its associated tactics. The tide was wrong, but we had moving water, and we even had a swing and a miss when Nev was stripping in his line to make another cast. (Teaching moment: the bass that chased his Ray’s Fly was small. Stripping a fly is a great way to attract small striped bass.) Neville is a very enthusiastic learner (he recorded much of our session on his phone) and I have only the highest amount of respect for those who dive into a subject with such eagerness and passion. Well done, Nev!

Superb teachings Steve – truly appreciated. Now looking forward to honing back home on some European bass.
Go get ’em! There’s no substitute for actual practice and time on the water.
Enjoyed this post Steve. Now you may be tempted to do some fishing in good ole England. Everyone can use a greased line swing when on the water.
Yes, and I can hit Scotland on the way home…
That’s Awesome. I was wondering if you know how Mr Abrahames is doing .
Ken Abrames is doing just fine. We talk on the phone a few times a month. I’ll tell him you were asking for him. 🙂
