Report from the weekend

[Kyle]

Went down on Friday in the rain, but right about the time we got camp set up it all quit and after that we had a beautiful weekend. Saturday was probably the best day I have ever had at Montauk. Caught about 25 fish all on a fly rod. The seemed to be feeding in the fast deep water. Caught a good number on scuds but the majority came on egg patterns with a weight 5 inches above and bouncing on the bottom. Caught one beautiful fish that had great pink color and white tipped fins. She had been in the river a while and put up a great fight. Also on saturday I missed my shot at a lunker. He hit my #12 gray hares ear but I could not get the hook set. He would have easly gone 3 pounds.

Then at the end of the day I realized why I really like fishing Montauk. At about 7:30 I was down at the very end of the park by the cable when the fog came in. I hooked up with a fish and it fought hard. In fifty yards to either side of me there were dee in the water feeding on aquatic vegitation. What an amazing feeling. Plus I had not seen another fishermen in about an hour.

Sunday was not as good as Saturday, but still good. Probably caught 10-15 fish and kept 2 nice ones.

All in all a great trip.
