Windy day at Montauk

Recommended Posts

Old friend Jerry Pike and I headed to Montauk this morning for a quick day of winter fishing . Fished from 09:30 to 14:00 and had a decent day in spite of the wind. Caught somewhere between 30-35 fish in the campground and missed at least one half that many. Hot fly for me early on was a bead head fox squirrel nymph and an egg pattern for Jerry. Had some fish high in the water column and threw an #18 tan emerger but had trouble keeping any of them on. Did have a 4# brown materialize out of nowhere and track the emerger as I was stripping in. Went back upstream later and never did find it but caught a 5-5 1/2# rainbow later on a peach fur bug. Sorry for no pics but I shut the phone off and left it in the truck for a little relief. A pretty awesome day even with the wind.

The New Yorker was probably lost. There is a Montauk, New York. I was researching Montauk state park, and Montauk NY, kept coming up in the results.

I am the master of my unspoken words, and the slave to those that should have remained unsaid. (unknown)

Hadn't wet a line in a little while so it was  good to get away.

Nice fish Jeff!

I finally made it down to Bennett on Sunday for the first time all winter, great day to fish.
