Just a great way to feed your habit for the fly rod.Bill Trussellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15351692272817692157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8518971929369280752.post-25289884880663502642010-08-10T10:28:50.254-04:002010-08-10T10:28:50.254-04:00Nice write up Bill, I'll bet that striper was ...Nice write up Bill, I'll bet that striper was a blast on the 4lb test, they are tough fish.

I caught the strip in a depth of 60 ft. it was a hoot to get that thing out in that kind of depth--took a while on the micro-light 4lb.test line.

The surface water temp was 89 degree, the other night and the only thing coming to the surface was the bluegill. The bass were doing nothing. The bass will kill these flies when the surface temps are lower.

I have come close 13oz. 14oz. but no 1 lb. yet but I will get it if not this fall next spring. Who know I may even get that 1 lb. plus.
