On the fish
Almost straitened out the hook also caught a ton of sandies. So there are still a few in the creeks. I was using my little trout rod I use on small streams in colorado. That was all the fish it could handle lol. It was my biggest hybrid on the fly I have caught bigger stripers but also on a bigger rod. Fun day. we had multiple doubles

WOW! That's pretty good.

We got a 8' sturgeon last week on a 8'6" salmon rod rated for 12-25 lb line. Took my buddy and I about 30 minutes to bring that big girl in.

Nice job on the fly...

Hooking a fish is like playing string with a cat. The exact size, shape, color of string matters less than how you wiggle it- and little cats are easier to fool than big ones. John Gierach

We need a big rain event to get them out of there before the summer drought starts.
