Fly Fishing Report 11/04/07 and 11/05/07
Last night !
Hi everybody, we fished both Sunday afternoon and last night, Monday. We started at the Sprague Bridge on the Narrow River with the tide in coming just at the turn. Fished usual patterns, mushmouth, blue over white and olive over white deceivers, my stealth pattern, and pink high tie craft fur patterns. For three and one half hours we pick up only six fish, four bass and two shad, very slow.
Last night we first started out at Moonstone Beach on an incoming tide no bait no sign of fish. We left Moonstone for Charlestown beach, just south of the pink house many birds where working but just out of reach for the fly fisher. As a matter of fact also far enough to make it hard for the spin fishermen to reach. One boat had a great time!
We drove to the breachway and started on the beach, right there at the corner of the wall. The tide was still coming in and the wind was almost straight into our face, making a good presentation of the fly a challenge. I like high tide and out going when fishing the beach. With an out going tide your line most always is tight with the tide pulling it away from you. Fast sink- tips and intermediate lines seem to work best in this scenario. Although many good fly fishers swear by a good fast sinking line. There must have been thirty five or more fishermen on the beach and we saw only one bass taken.
After a half hour with no fish we went inside. Started at the boat ramp and moved upstream to the corner, oh, about three hundred yards or so from the ramp. Again many fishermen no hookups. The bait was very copious to say the least; many times we would hook these peanut bunker on every other cast. We did manage to land a few shad and small bluefish. The tide was still incoming, I think that the bite would pick up at the change of the tide later on at 7:30 or so, we didn’t stay! I didn’t take the water temperature but my feet where clod for the first time in the salt this season, a good thing. Water has been free of weeds and other floating vegetation.
Just keep on going!
Best always, Ed www.edlombardoflyfish.com
