    Hopefully they bump the flows up some to open up some more water.

    When you guy say “float” are you stoping and holding up in different areas or are you truly drifted key spots and working it similar to stripers. Thanks and just trying this out this year on the fly. It’s been fun so far but tough to put down the striper rod. Trying to get into a good spot for the boys to get some good action. Thanks guys!

    I think it’s because I try to get them in as fast ask possible and released. I don’t like to overplay fish.

    Floated with Earle Sloan this afternoon. It was slow for me at the start with Earle going 3:1 to me but the last hour we fished tables were turned and it was 3:1 in my favor. We ended up with over 40 to the boat. The low flow has resulted in only a few places you can get a good swing. It was very busy with anglers and boats starting early in the morning and lasting through the day. The key to getting into shad is the right line, fly and presentation!

    The bummer is that Sage is closed........... hard to get a replacement anytime soon, I presume.

    Goes without saying........

    For the non-connoisseur, it maybe a misfortune.
