Been on the road over the past week or so. This time Florida,
fishing for Tarpon. What I can tell you is, A 130 + pound Tarpon is not
impressed with a 12 weight rod. The Tarpon fishing is tough to begin with, bad
weather, windy conditions in cloudy skies that made spotting the fish all made
the difficult. Sound familiar, go on a trip and have tough fishing conditions.
Second part of the Florida fishing trip was the inshore fishing. Hot water temperatures and the constant
midday thunderstorms continue to plague us. However this time we found
consistent fishing and caught nine different species of fish. Good to be home
and out of the Florida heat in back to trout fishing.
Managed to get on our trout streams over the last few
mornings, Can report lots of bugs. The summer hatches are well underway, the
featured mayfly is now the Trico a size 20 may fly. The Trico is a early
morning hatch, on like most mayflies, the Trico will Hatch late night too early
in to the morning and while still on the wing, Will go through the spinner
stage mate and fall back to the water. Like the trout, we fisherman will
capitalize on the spinner fall. This is AM fishing, the whole mature lifecycle
of the Trico Will only last a few hours. This means being on the stream
somewhere between 6:30 to 7 AM and will be done around noon, at least for the
spinner fall. After that try fishing ants and beetles in the shaded water and
under the trees.
We have had a big bunch of rain this past week; as a result water
flows are up but in ideal fishing levels. True to form there is a catch. The
watercolor is heavily stained. I suspect this will clear itself out quickly,
Time to fish. Even though the flies are
small these upcoming summer hatches can provide us some of the best dry fly
fishing we will experience all season.
Note:
I have Time available for anyone that may be interested in
experiencing morning Trico hatch. This is a great opportunity to brush up on
your technical fishing skills. If interested please feel free to give me a call
