  1. Very nice Snook and Peacock Bass! Question is the trail the pull off on Route 41? For some reason I was originally thinking it was 75 but doesn't seem like much opportunity to pull over there.
  2. And plan on throwing away the socks you wear afterwords
  3. The Goldie has worked very well for me in the past. Also known as Empies Deadly Shiner on the Bears Den website.
  4. Trout fishing early in the season there is not much going on with hatches. Keep your choices down to a half dozen styles to start. I find freshly stocked trout take a few week's before they start keying in on bugs like midges. They are used to being fed pellets not eating bugs. Surely you should carry some wooly buggers in a couple of different colors like olive and black. One other pattern I haven't seen recommended that is great for rainbows is Rainy's Empies Deadly Shiner aka The Goldie. This is a great fly for lots of fish. I have even caught stripers on it. You can order or get it at the Bears Den in Taunton. It is available in four colors but I only use the gold which is the original. It is also easy to tie and instructions used to be able to be found on the Crossroads Anglers website. Some leech flies would also be a great choice to start as previously mentioned. Leeches are active year round and one of the few food sources available in early spring. If you want to learn more on fishing for stocked trout Denny Rickard and Brian Chan have lots of info online.
  5. Just an FYI in case you didn't know Patagonia will buy that pull over back from you.
  6. There appears to be some of those Rusty Black Birds along with them feeding off the ground. Never noticed these before but that photo above provided ID.
  7. Got my answer on the Red Wing Blackbird and apparently they do travel with the Robins. It is 25 degrees here at the office (S.E. MA) and the Robins just arrived in a flock as they often do this time of year to eat the berries off the Holly Tree and there are some Red Wing Blackbirds with them.
  8. We had a red wing blackbird at our feeder too about two weeks ago. I think there were a number of Robins on the ground at that time so he might have been traveling with them though there were a lot of songbirds there then too.
  9. Ward Beans Warmwater Fly Tyer website has some good step by steps.
  10. They, Simms, changed their sizing and I got burned by that ordering a pair of bootfoots when they only had them custom. Ordered the same size I always wore and they arrived and I discovered they were too small for layering. They took them back when I pushed but the policy at the time was no returns. I had to go up a size in order to get the same fit that allowed layering like I had done in the past.
  11. Sorry to see your vacation coming to an end. Enjoyed all the daily reports! Thanks again for taking us along.
  12. Sounds like another great day exploring the beach in Naples. Thank you very much for taking us along!
  13. In MA you do have a right to fish the saltwater shoreline area, private or not, as long as you gain access legally meaning you didn't trespass across private property to get the water.
  14. I see a lot of kayakers out on the river who start from that location. I wouldn't leave anything valuable in the vehicle. As for route 6 construction starts on the bridges next spring so there definitely will not be access there.
