  • Awesome Matt. Had a similar day today (except for your success on the fly rod). Had a few BIG fish follow my fly up to the surface and one swipe but could only get a micro on the fly.

  • Great photos Matt! Looks like a beautiful day. The gummy flies look incredibly realistic. Have you tried the Gummy Sand Eel fly?
