Had some work to do in Columbia last week, so I took along my 4wt fly rod and hit up lake Murray and the lower Saluda. First afternoon/evening was spent on the River produced one rainbow, one brown, and one bream in about two hours of fishing. The next day I hit the lake with a friend and Hooked up with 9 Large mouth (all small, largest pictured) and tons of bream and shellcraker. The most fun came when we came across a cove with stripers that had a large school of shad hemmed up in about 3 feet of water and they were giving em hell. I did not land any, but hooked up with two that took me well into the backing before the 5X tippet gave way and both fish took my last 2 clousers. Tons of fun.
Fished this weekend 11/3 and 11/4 here in charleston Saturday was slow with 3 trout on the fly. Sunday was a little better with 8 trout (all between 9-12") and 8 blues. I caught a blue double on a crease fly with a small epoxy shrimp tailing behind on 8lb fluro (kind of like a DOA tied under a popping cork). It was fun having two on at once and they put up a good little fight.
Sorry, I only have these two pics, but I was afraid to go wading with the camera in the river only to have it get too wet when my friend left it out of the dry box, only the SD card made it out of the ordeal unscathed. I think the next camera I go with will be the Pentax Optio w30. They say it is water proof, so it may be able to take some underwater release pics.
