Looks promising

Puppy drum fishing is setting up to be ridiculous in the sound this year. They seem to be pretty thick everywhere! Looking forward to putting some charters on some drag screaming puppy drum on light tackle. These fish are loads of fun and they will explode on a topwater plug as well. Spent some more time on the water in my Hobie kayak with my brother recently. We found a big school of pups backed up in a shallow creek. Sight casted them for a while then took out the fly rods and wore them out. Call me – its time to book a trip!

Pups on the fly

Finally did some kayak fishing close to home the other day.  Matt and I loaded up the Hobies and headed down south looking for some drum.  We found a nice school of upper slot fish backed up in a shallow creek.  We caught them on popping corks, jigs, and on our fly rods.  It was just one of those magical days on that keeps us going back for more.

Mountain Trout

Spent the weekend at the family timeshare at Massanutten.    The conditions on the slopes were not so great with alot of ice.  Matt and I decided to head to some mountain streams to do some fly fishing.  Matt has been doing alot of fly fishing this year at home.  I purchased my first fly rod at Mossy Creek Outfitters and we headed to the stream.   We fished the Dry River and Mossy Creek.  We managed a few small brook trout, but we still had an awesome time.

 

Can’t wait to put this fly rod to use on the puppy drum and trout here at home!
