Delta - 11/7/2020

[Trouter925]

Just started taking my 8wt out on the delta last couple trips - I mostly gear fish for bass out there. Fly fishing out of a pedal kayak certainly is a lesson in patience - so many tangles. Time for a stripping basket of some kind. With the wind and current, I found it much easier to throw out an anchor, work a section of bank, pull up and move, repeat. Also throwing a towel over the pedal drive makes for less tangles.

Caught a bunch of dinks and one nice striper. 1st "nice" striper on the fly. When it hit, I knew in a couple seconds that it wasn't a largemouth. I thought it could've been a large pike minnow. Took me a while to get up before I could see it and it made a couple short runs.

I may have to sell my conventional gear...
