Skygager fly fishing in korea - Fly fishing Episode 33

Ed Ward and Dave Pinczkowski: "Just Bassin'"

Fluke on a fly

I went to the park to mostly practice using my new skagit line and my new ATP 37 fly reel.  I used a # 10 hares ear fly.  I placed my line in the water before making a cast. the line lay in the water for about a minute or two.  I stripped off some more line and began to form a "D" loop.  As I tried to cast, something was preventing the line from coming up.  I thought it might be a small fish.  I attempted to roll cast again.  So I squeezed the lever to pull in my fly line. There was a fish, a crappie on my line with the hares ear in its mouth.  This fish was caught by a fluke, a mistake!

 

 

Olympic Pennisula Skagit Tactics In NYC

The virus and fishing have not mixed well with me trying to catch fish and stay safe.  This morning I managed to get out of the house and into Prospect Park for some "social distance" fishing with my new

ATP 37 graphite semi automatic fly reel.

The reel is loaded with my new skagit set up.  For the past couple of seasons, I have been unable to reach carp feeding in the center of Hughes Lake.  If I get to fish for carp this season, I plan to use 

The eleven foot six weight fly rod to reach faraway places where the big carp feed freely.  This set up uses the OPST floating commando line ( 300 grams).

I present for your inspection one green woolie worm; used for catching panfish in the lake at Prospect

Park .
