Right time, right place, tight lines. Found some h Right time, right place, tight lines. Found some healthy, hungry fish up to 24” willing to chew the bunker-style flies. Such a cool feeling on the 8w long pole when these fish hit n tug. Took two to the reel. All in the mid/upper Severn; last hour of ebb, and first of flood. Good, clean fun

Autumn mornings, riding the river, playing with fi Autumn mornings, riding the river, playing with fish. Thankful for these resources. Some small stripers fly caught…and a crab lol. Definitely a challenge finding willing fish to chew by fly casting. It’s a different ballgame for sure. Takes concentration, patience, and stamina. Water temp at 68F today. Fall patterns almost consistent. Good clean fun

Cobbled together a Severn slam on the fly between Cobbled together a Severn slam on the fly between a few a.m. outings this week. First pickerel of the season, small schoolie bass, and THE MEG white perch among others. Most on a deceiver, others on clousers. Good clean fun
