Happy New Years - Year of the Flyrod
So...just got back from chasing Yellowtail in SoCal (pic's eventually...I am referring to Yellowtail fish...not the blonde variety) and despite trying to readjust to the 25 degree Virginia weather I dragged my sorry butt out into the cold. My intended goal was to practice double-hauling a light set up into the wind, but after catching a few BG's on a #12 Epoxy Minnow, I realize the fish were biting and I tied on an Olive Wooly Bugger to see what would happen. Well, my 2015 Bucket list included (note past tense) a 17"- 20" LMB on a fly...well surprise, surprise...took the below on a #8 Wooly Bugger, 7'6" 3wt rod, with 7' sinking leader and 4 feet of 6lb fluorocarbon. Yes, it was quite the surprise...very, very soft hit and no jumps...bass just sorta rolled around and its weight was more than enough to make it a lot of fun.
Caught this pig of a BG too...yes, on the Wooly Bugger.
Happy New Years!!

Re: Happy New Years - Year of the Flyrod
Keeping with the Fly Fishing theme.....caught this guy with an Olive Wooly Bugger, but used a 4wt Fly rod.....wind was up a bit.
Yeah, a 15" Crappie....funny, I keep fishing the same spots, using similar patterns and keep catching the same type of fish....just bigger...okay, I'll stop complaining.
Best regards,
Fishfry
