The pumpkin patch was busy this morning

Post by Prof. Salt »

The full moon last night didn't seem to hinder the bite this morning. Lots of hungry reds were on the hunt, and I was able to land ten of them before 9:00am. I strung up the first three fish and released the others. Here's a chubby 29" pumpkin that ate the crab fly just ten feet from the kayak, lol. He never got into the backing on the 6wt but sure put a bend in the rod. Oh, and the crab fly is ready to rumble again. It survived eight trips to the landing net and many other strikes that didn't work out.
