To keep things simple lets try a pictorial post - noting that we took none of the pictures

Meet up with Barhopr @


We launched @


Intent was to fish for

Saw several of these


Most of the fish would do this with a good cast


Some fly casts looked like this


The day progressed from redfish cussing to a red sunset - a trout was secured with a fly and many redfish are now adrenaline junkies from there near death experience with a hook and a rosy colored line. At the end of the day we decided that all the redfish were vegans and we must return to the vice and whip out a nice salad fly that will surely tempt their palette the next time.

So ends another year of redfish humbling bravado.

Nice post.

Great post !

Good stuff Chalk.

I feel ya, I fished Lanark yesterday as well fish were spooky.

well played. Thanks for the laugh, and better luck "next year"

PS-how did TK get in a BeaverTail ad?

Thanks for the report chalk, about sums it up. However, other than the trout we did get some blood in the boat by the way of one of these:

He was already dead when we ran over him and the cross member on the boat trailer got him.
JT needs to keep his pets on a leash

At least you two got out there on what looks to be the pick of the week.

Nice post

Sounds like fun....

'cept for the finicky reds

Great post Chalk

Happy New Year to 'Ya

Nice trip.

Was wondering (never tried Flyfishing)......What's the difference in casting distance between fly rods and a spinning rod/reel combo? I'm sure there's a few variables, but looking for a ballpark guesstimate.

Nice day guys

Ron - 60 ft is about the max, you can cast further but control would be an issue....the problem we had the other day was we had too much line out...most of the fish would appear within 25 ft of the boat - hand to hand combat as Barhopr calls it.
