fishing

Summer is in full swing this week with great weather in the forecast, a nearly full calendar and lots of different activities. I will be striper fishing , hiking and a group will learn to fly fish with me one afternoon.

I’ve made the trip down onto the salt water a couple of times this week and am pleased to report that there are indeed a few stripers around. So far all seem to be larger fish between 28 and 36 inches.

The fishing reminds me of the early 1990’s with only a few wary fish. Things that we used to have to do to be successful are back. Most noticeable of these is needing to be on the water early not the leisurely 8AM starts I can get away with on my freshwater trips.

The last two days have been exquisite warm enough but not too warm. Beautiful blue skies and just enough breeze to discourage the bugs. Saturday was the Kids Fishing Event on Seven Tree Pond as always a great success. Good turnout, plenty of volunteers and fish for the kids to catch.
