April has for sure settled down and the fish are there to be caught ! Â That doesn’t mean we catch them all the time. Â Salt water fly fishing is a humbling little game we play, and at times down right maddening. Â The biggest mistake people make is lifting the rod to set the hook. Â I see it time and time again, and people get so bummed when they do it. Â Our entire angling life prior to salt water fly fishing one is taught to set the the hook by rearing back or lifting a rod to do so. Â This is not a easy habit to break and it can cost you fish, but if you do it don’t get bummed, it’s a learning experience and happens to all of us at one point or another. Â I always say, if salt water fly fishing were easy there wouldn’t be such a thing a bait fisherman. Â Water temps are creeping up and we should be seeing other species soon. I will keep ya posted. Â Take note of the flies hanging from the critters lips, all Chris Webber patterns that you can pick up at Rivers and Glenn fly shop in Savannah.
