Seven (7) Day Fly Fishing Forecast: improving

Fish are here from now til later September. They just started to arrive and the fishing is only going improve as the weeks go by. Use 8 or 9wt rods inside the Castleneck River and 9-10wt rods and large herring flies at the mouth of the Essex for bigger cow bass. Some advanced anglers are using two handed rods and very large herring patterns surching for the biggest cows as they arrive. This year should be one of the best in 20 years. Good luck!
