Bass, Glass & Divers

Attachment 13824

In South Jersey one learns quick that you can't beat the heat. And in August with no trout about, a fly fisherman must look to the Lilies. It's been said "When in Rome, do as the Romans", but I think the Jersey fishermen were all in the Colosseum, since none were on the water at all. No problem in my mind, since I had the entire lake to myself and 3 hours of daylight remaining. Life was good.

But as is normally the case, with some persistence the larger fish were there for the taking. The night give up 3-4 nice heavy fish, with one that proved too much for my 7wt and the lily stalks. A smart fish, who won the day. But those are the fish that bring us back.

Hope all are making the best of the summer heat and getting on some water.
