 ....I fly fished on Friday 12/28, 1st light with the tide already coming in. Conditions were perfect except that I only hand about 2 hours of sight fishing left before the oysters would disappear.  I hit some of my best spots that I know were Reds hang. Found 4-5 somewhat active Reds that would come up after bait a couple times than disappear. They were eating the popping tiny little shrimp. Got a few casts off with no takers. Later on just before the oyster got covered I was blind casting my Black Polybear Kwan fly at a couple of productive known oysters and hooked into this nice 6 lb. Red on my 6wt...  I went for a nice sleigh ride on this one!  Snapped this pic below for a contest shot and like a clumsy idiot!..  I dropped my camera in a puddle of water!  Within two seconds I grapped it. To late! Gone.! Doesn’t work anymore.  I will most likely be shopping for a waterproof one now! Lesson learned. Later on I did find another 20” Red on an oyster. Drove home smacking my a head a few times.... Here's the last pic that camara will ever take....  (the SD card was ok  ) |
