First Day on the Flats this Year

Made the trek to my flats, and they didn’t let me down. The only thing that let me down was the storm. I was a little late arriving to the flat but before my feet hit the water I saw a tail. Then another, made a few cast and spooked him with my go to fly, “The Simon Special,” as it has been named by a few friends. Saw one more tail and the thunder rolled in. Told the wife lets roll up to another flat close by so we did. Saw some fish before we even parked the truck, hoped out and the cast was a little long for the fly rod (Ken has already told me that he will show me how to cast to them haha). So I picked up the spinning combo and went to throwing the ZMan Minnowz. Ended up counting 4 more tails before I scared them off by hooking up with this guy. Over all great day eventhough I only fished for a total of 30 minutes. Probably head back tomorrow. Maybe the rain will hold out.

Fish On !!

:wink:

He swam off for the next angler

Overall a great day, we took the spin combo for the wife (I ended up using it) but they recommended the 1/16th oz Trigger Hook, sure worked perfect, thanks guys

Bragging may not bring happiness,
but no man having caught a large fish,
goes home through the alley.
