Snuck down before work today. Just about dead low...you know what that means. More fly donations to the river. I'm pretty confident the fish aren't here yet. The luck I had last week was some early fish on their way upriver to find a girlfriend. It's been a week and few days since a striped one hit my fly, and that's fishing nearly everyday, both high and low tides.
Shad are here, some guys are saying they've seen some small pods of herring, but I can't confirm that. Here's what I think we need, some good rain, the kind that throws it off color a bit and bumps it up, some sustained warm weather to bring the water temps up above 55, and time, well good timing.
