Late, somewhat out of date report

[The Fisherman]

I had a feast or famine October flyfishing in RI. One week I went three times and caught zero bass. The next week, I went twice and took over 70 (really). This week, 7 hours produced three bass for two of us. We were fishing mostly on the insides of tidal ponds, but we also spent a significant amount of time fishing beach break.

 

Flies that produced well were September Nights (3.5 & 6+") and 3" anchovy patterns (like the RLS Inconspicuous).

 

Of course, there were nights when thos same flies went ignored.

 

Tis the nature of the beast. :-)
