Report 7/13

Went on Friday the 13th with my pop. Interesting story in the Montauk thread. He tore them up on some homemade doughbait. Cat food ground up with some other stuff. Appearently a secret to even me. He told me that he caught a couple of dozen within a hour.

I was flyfishing as usual. I had success on a olive scud dropped under a stimulator. No strikes on the stimulator, but they were after the scud pretty hard. Had to twitch the scud right before the strike or they wouldn't take it. Also had several takes on an olive wooly, but they would just bump it no real hook ups. Short strikes all day. Also caught a couple on a red san juan and broke a couple off on cracklebacks stripped. Like I said before, the fish were very picky even with 7x tippet. I had to switch flies often because the fish would lose interest. Kept four good ones probably caught 10-12 in all.

Impressed with the size of the fish in the stream!

Good to hear about the scuds working still. We still need to hit the river together Kyle.
