Fly Fishing Next Weekend

[BlueWave]

I am just taking the fly rods next weekend and plan to fish very early and very late to avoid the crowds. Hoping to find Stripers (or spots) on top to < 20 FOW. F&F and others, does point 4 to point 6 sound like the right area? Thanks

any thoughts????

I don't follow the stripers, so I can't help there, but last week in Jeb's boat we found some top water spotted bass, roughly within a couple of miles of Coppermine in either direction. Fishing around humps, gravelly points and flats and over brushpiles generally in 20-25 FOW. There wasn't a lot of surface activity, but the bass would respond to topwaters. Look for shad dimpling the surface. We did see a couple of white bass top water feeding frenzies in the same area, but they are brief and you have to get to them quickly before the move away.

Big rain (if it happens) tomorrow may change things.

Thanks Quill. Will be out early Sunday looking for some clear water after Ike does his thing.

Made it out for a few hours Saturday evening in the pt 4 area with the fly rod chasing bass. Caught 7 on deer hair poppers on outside trees in 20 - 25 feet of water. None over 2 lbs. Did lose a nice ~ 4 lb largemouth .........twice on the same cast with a weinee trout hook set both times. Could not believe the crazy boat traffic but did not seem to knock them down.

Good for you, that's pretty good this time of year, especially on the fly rod.
