After leaving Bennett due to very high water. LOL (see other thread with pics)

Went to Montauk to finish up a week long trip and could have not had better timing. Just missed the rain. And the fishing was great fished in the flies only section everyday. When the wind was up couldn't keep the trout off of size 12 cracklebacks fished on top and would occasionally take one skipped or just under the surface. When the water grew flat I would tie on a soft hackle and slowly swing them back which led to great numbers and a few two pounders also.

Lots of "dinks" but there were larger fish to be had just not as many.

Had most success with size 10 wooliebuggers in olive with a gold bead head in the morning while my fishing buddie caught well with 1/16oz black and yellow marabou jigs in the mornings.

In the afternoons and evenings I used crackle backs in blue and green holographic with a furnace colored hackle,also brown and olive with a grizzly hackle. and soft hackles small browns, and partridge and orange worked equally well. While my buddy fished under a weighted bobber using small white, beadspread and john deer mini jigs, egg patterns(globalls) and caught well also.
