Short but Sweet

[jpchavez23]

After keeping a close eye on the winds and water levels all day I had enough with being stuck indoors so I decided to head out for a quick evening trip close to home. I decided to pack light and only tote along my fly rod, fly box, and a net.

After a short drive I arrived at my location and was greeted with calm water and low tide. Perfect conditions for fly fishing the marsh. I ended the trip with six reds up to 26″. I also managed to break off one and lose two more during the battle. My flies of choice were a grass shimp in white and a spoon fly in gold. Not bad for only two hours of fishing and a short drive from home.

Nice report. Did the same thing this evening. Instead of dropping the skiff in, I took the kayak. Marsh was on fire. Went 4 for 7, largest was 30. Should of taken the camera, the fish were chasing the shrimp onto the mud. Only spent about 2 hours on the water.
