Cross That Off My List (Finally)
I had set a goal to catch a pike on a fly this year and I was finally able to accomplish that feat over the weekend. I loaded up my kayak with my spin gear as well as my fly gear and headed to the river. I started spin fishing while paddling up river. I landed about 10 pike and 5 or 6 largemouth. When I got as far upstream as I wanted to go I decided to put the spin gear away and tie on a big streamer and try for my 1st pike on a fly. One my 3rd cast I hooked and landed a pike that went just over 27" which ended up being my biggest for the day. By the end of the float back to my Jeep I had managed to land 5 pike (lost a bunch) and a few more bass. Now I just have to get one of those monsters that JDTuna has been into on a fly!!!
I also saw my 1st NJ mink as well as another bald eagle. Great day on the river. Here are a few photos. |

Wow great action there! Good work on the fly too. Was the stretch you fished an easy paddle?
