Good job, its a good start. I went out many a time before I got a fish on the fly, so it sounds like your doing well. Having a boat gives a considerable advantage, but trolling flies from a boat ( what I have been doing over the summer) is not really fly fishing, I consider it fishing with flies. Really looking forward for there to be a bit more chironomid action so I can start some real fly fishing. There has been minimal chironomid hatches as of late though.

In the river systems? If not where? Beech fishing? I would really like to fly fish in the ocean. Maybe I could do that when I can get a rig together.

absolutely slayed at langford today. I had over 20 fish, 6 of them were over 18 inches. The largest was 23 inches, the last picture!! I kept 2 in the 21 inch range. I was fishing size 12 black and copper leeches, and size 16 pumpkin heads, super small.

Mike bought a new bought and we thought we would get it wet. Dunked it in Langford after viewing Kunni's past report. Was a good idea. Mike got a couple 15" ers and missed a few then I saw Kunni trolling around the aerator. Went over and had a chat he showed me his flies I showed him mine. Then we parted ways.
I tried a couple patterns he gave me without much luck. I went to a old standby black and red UV leech with a copped body wrap and gold cone head. Second pass around the aerator and My rod sank and I lifted up. It was a solid fish. Diden't see it for a few minuted. It took off and my reel screamed. I knew it was a good one. Mike made sure I was aware his new boat has no net. Finally I get it up to the side of the boat for a look. Wow nice fish. My buddy Matt asked me to get him a trout and this one looked good to me. Mike tailed it like a semi-pro after 4 tries. We weighed it in at wise-buys. 4-7oz.

very, it will start to heat up in september and will die down over the winter. They are multiplying like crazy, and they travel in huge schools. Lots of people are targeting them with pretty good success
