Uh so yeah…bit hazy this a.m. with the wildfire sm Uh so yeah…bit hazy this a.m. with the wildfire smoke hanging over MD. 😶‍🌫️ More practice on the fly. A few fish moving around but not much current. Heard dolphins have gotten stripers moving far upriver. Getting a touch better at casting clousers on intermediate line. Topwater (gurglers today) on floating line still tricky for me. Keepin at it tho 😵‍💫

Trying flies. Tying flies. Flying flies. Fly this. Trying flies. Tying flies. Flying flies. Fly this. Fly that. Man, this is becoming one big a**, addictive, obsession with a heckuva learning curve. Just trying to capture the summer river schoolie bite during the early dawn. It’s been a gas. Upgrading fly line a MAJOR boost. Caught a couple small bass on a clouser casted around docks close to a weed line on intermediate line

Sunrise over the Severn this morning. Gave fishing Sunrise over the Severn this morning. Gave fishing a shot with friends Erik and Lucas before the wind won the day. It was really blowing out there but we tried some protected areas. Didn’t get on any—there will be a next time. Beautiful day otherwise
