The weather has been less than cooperative the past week or so. There have been a few very brief windows early in the morning where you can get it done sightfishing, but those have quickly followed by a stiff north wind at 20+ mph. Not ideal for finding fish. Throw in on top of that that these winds have been bringing a bunch of clouds with them, and you have the perfect recipe for… staying home.
All is not lost though. This gives me plenty of time to sit at the vise and knock out a few flies. And I have even been able to try a few out in the backyard at night, with a cooperating subject.
This late night red ate a spoon fly in the dock lights
Things are looking a bit rosier here in the coming days. Weather and wind is looking ideal to get out a couple more days. Hopefully the next report will come with photos of our final redfish of 2014.
Happy holidays to everyone.
