Thumbs up Schools out - but the schoolies are still in

Fished the BFD River today at out going low. A little unconventionally but productively. Some of you know I fish every day, every where, for anything. Mostly if not always from shore. So I care a lot of different things with me.

Today after work I went down to my favorite river hear in BFD for a few tosses. After going through a few crankbaits and a 1/2 oz kroc spoon I had a crazy idea. I had this old 3/8 kastmaster, rusted treble hook and none of the white buck-tail left. I took apart the split ring and attached the a yellow over white #4? fly recently acquired from Ebay.

Now this place has been producing fairly well. I've been catching some good size schoolie stripers here for a few weeks now in the low 20" mainly. Maybe three in an hour or two. All on the 3/8 Kroc or a Yozuri crank. So today, same thing. Two stripers on yellow/green crank baits then nothing forever.

I finish assembling the fly/spoon. Take my first cast, bang...22". Second cast, bang...14". Third cast, leaf. Forth cast, bang another 14" or so. Three or four casts later I had two more hits and then some weeds for a bit. Once that cleared, bang another 16" and I believe the 14" I caught earlier. Looked like the same girl. All total I had about 6 fish on the yellow over white fly/kastmaster combo, two missed hits, and two on the Yuzori. All in one hour. The moral, try something new, different, whatever...get out and fish.




I might not be fly fishing or going for salmon, but they're catching fish and exactly the way I thought they would when I saw them on Ebay.

There is another set for sale if your interested. Nice guy too.
