In Summer 2022 I began my saltwater fly fishing journey. In this episode of The Reel I take you along for my first few sessions. I started a bit late in the year in August and continued to fish when I could around family and work. I tried some small lure and streamer patterns for the bass and some shrimp patterns, but caught all the fish in this video on a fly very similar to Colin McLeod's Spectra Shrimp. Having seen a lot of mullet in very shallow water, I will be trying another pattern of Colin's in 2023, the Ghostbuster.
I fished a mark not seen in this video in September 2022 which was probably the closest I got to decent sized bass. I was fishing towards where I could see what looked like bass smashing the surface with birds flying overhead. I didn't have any luck but a lure fisherman turned up about a hundred yards down from me and pulled out 2 fish so at least I was in the right place!
Hopefully in Summer 2023 I'll be able to land a decent sized mullet or bass. I'm going to be at the Orvis Saltwater Fly Fishing Festival in September so need to hone my skills.
