At 7 am I was rolling into spot 2, one I have been scooting out a lot and today I had the perfect tide, or so I thought. It is actually 1-1/2 hours later until the true flip and besides one grab I had nothing to show for four hours of blowing out my arm. It wa then a rush to get back home to take care of some
things, but of course I have to pass the Delaware on the way. Full moon high tide plus the bump from last weeks rain and I was pinned to the woods and had to make some inventful casts, but they worked. While I have been hoping for a big bass, the specimen below is just a really pretty crisp and clean river fish. It fell to a sweet Squimpish herring fly I tied that really looked good in the water. Herring, we have herring, and the cormorants are having a field day. Its cool to see them come up with a silver fish in
their beak. It was then largemouth time. Same cast, same spot over about an hour produced three fish, one a pregnant heifer, one that looked like a peacock bass, and one that photographed wet and well. Lucky to get into some fish, interesting with last nights walleye and todays largemouths.
