FLY FISHING TRIP WITH BOB & TOBY

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 17th, 2011

Today I had a trip with Bob and Toby who wanted to try their luck with fly fishing on Redfish and Speckled Trout.

We went to Barataria Bay and found a school of trout, where Bob and Toby caught a trout on just about every cast with their fly rods, for 2 hours!

After spending some time playing catch and release with the fly rods, we decided to try our luck with Redfish with the fly rod.   We  found a school of Bull Reds on the surface, where Bob and Toby hooked each a 37″ to 38″ Redfish in the 30 lb class.  After about a 25 minute fight on 16 lb test line, we managed to land the Redfish and take pics and released them safely to fight another day.

Chad also caught a few Speckled Trout for his first time fly fishing.

I want to thank Bob and Toby for a great day on the water.
