No Fishing Today, 11/19/12
In years past, I’ve traveled to the International Fly Tying Symposium a few days early and stayed a day or two late so that I could fish for striper and blues with my old friend, Chuck Furimsky. This year, the weather was not on our side. We’ve fished in some rough November seas and done well in the past, but this year, the sea was beyond rough. Small craft warnings kept us planted firmly on shore or fishing the bay. It was great weather for surfers, however, so Ben, Chuck’s son, got to go into the ocean and ride the waves. Good on you Ben, I’m staying on shore.
In years past, the weather was OK, and the stripers and blues were most cooperative.
This year, the weather is great for surfers, but not for fly fishers.
