We hope to go to FL to visit my Mother In Law later this spring. When ever that happens I get psyched for some great fishing. That always leads to some time looking for new FL flies... I fish salt, but I dont know what the heck I'm "really" doing. I basically apply what knowledge I have, try to stay adaptable, and figure stuff out on the fly. That's how I've found my best salt flies for down there for sure. The other day I bumbled into the "Gangsta Gurgler" which sure looked a lot like my favorite "shrinp" fly in Lefty's Craft Fur Shrimp, and one of the greatest top water flies ever for warm or salt water fish - the Gartside Gurgler. I had some little mess ups on both - which you will see quick if you know this fly... But man, what a fishy looking fly. I had to do a few up. Hopefully some time later this year Ill be able to post up some pic's with one of these in the corner of a snooks mouth :)!
Happy fishing!

Jack would approve.
ReplyDeleteBrk Trt - thanks Alan. That would be high praise :)
DeleteI'm mostly hoping some of the gulf of mexico's finest enjoy it, and maybe even a striped bass up here if I chase them much this year. Hope you are well.
