Winding down my time in FLA at what a buddy would call, the exact wrong time, as the fishing is picking up. Unfortunately the weekend weather has been crap for a while so that has curtailed a bit of my fishing.

A few weeks ago I caught a large Pompano on a white Jawbreaker fly. I released it as i thought it was a Jack even though it didn't have a spot. The buddy I mentioned above was the one who educated me when he texted back to my picture, great Pompano, how did you cook it? Big dummy.

Yesterday afternoon I anchored near a bar in OB and there was a shit ton of bait around. Saw a few large black drum tails popping up, positioned myself perfectly and drifted crab patterns to them and then tossed a gurgler to try to get their attention. Couldn't get them to eat.

Anyway, it's been an awesome season working from home in Florida. This is my last weekend of this season and I hope to tear it up. If I do, you'll likely hear about it. :-) Hope you all have good spring fishing! If you're coming to Montana this summer, let me know. At a minimum, I can point you in the right direction.

Good reports. Have a safe trip back. I am going Glacier this summer. Do you have a guide recommendation out of whitefish?

My inlaws live in Helen and I have recently started gathering equipment to fly fish up there when ever we visit. I was able to catch 5 rainbows one day last week (wild ones too!). I want to start trying for trout down here, and I've gotten a few clousers to throw at them. My rod is only a 5 wt, (I got it for the N. Ga mountain streams), so I figure it will handle seatrout fine, but reds will need some finesse.

Showboat, I'd probably recommend Lary's flyshop in Columbia Falls owned by Hillary Hutcheson who is on Trout TV. She and I have a few mutual friends who think very highly of her. Two comments related to this are 1. Book early if your going with a guide, it's going to be busy in Montana this summer. 2. if you're looking to go somewhere remote, check out the Spotted Bear River. And when checking it out, wear bearspray. Great late summertime dry fly fishing for Cutts.
