    This time of year we stay booked up and have little time for fishing reports - so this will be a short one. I made time, a night or two ago, to do some exploring up at Jupiter (for those not from this area - it's just north of the Palm Beaches..). I deliberately went on a tide that I normally don't fish to learn whether it would be productive - and it was.... After dark now - you need to be a bit cautious since they're building a massive new bridge with lots of big barges and cranes - but they do have temporary navigation lights that make it do-able... and at a docklight I'd never fished before (the very first one I checked...) there were lots of small snook in the lights chasing any baitfish or shrimp that the tide presented. Using a 9wt fly rod my first cast got hammered by a small snook - here's a quick photo before it was carefully released... this young snook ate a Night Fly that is normally meant for tarpon then went racing back towards the dock before coming to hand A cast or two later - that same fly got another workout - with a bit bigger fish... and a lot tougher fight... then carefully released Although I was supposed to be exploring - I couldn't resist trying for one more fish -using that same chewed up fly - and this time the next fish was bigger still... this one might have been slot sized - but was released to fight another day... I was very tempted to stay right where I was since the snook were in a feeding mood - but still needed to do the exploring I came for.... The next two hours I checked docklights I knew and a few that I'd never taken a close look at with great results. Without picking up a rod you could see fish at most of the lights I checked -some of them big girls (the kind that take you to school up under the nearest dock if hook one..). Pretty sure that any night trip up to Jupiter will be well worth doing in the coming months to add to the night trips locally in nearby Biscayne Bay... Enough for now - will be down at Flamingo today... Like I mentioned we're busy this time of year.... " Be a hero... take a kid fishing" Tight lines Bob LeMay (954) 435-5666

    As in many fly tying philosophies, there are traditional ideas . . . and notable exceptions. Generally, dry fly hackles are not clipped unless (as noted above, the bottom is trimmed to allow the fly to sit lower in the surface film). The untrimmed hackle barbule has a gentle taper that not only looks aesthetically pleasing, but also functionally provides a fine tip to sit gently on the water. However . . . some flies are designed to achieve a certain look and/or function. John Barr who is an incredibly successful fisherman and fly designer, clips the tail (and legs) on the Barr Emerger, and I guarantee you that fly catches many fish . Dave Whitlock clipped the palmered hackle on Dave's Hopper to achieve a certain look. It is so much easier in these modern times to find good quality dry fly necks with many sizes of feathers . . . and at a fairly reasonable price. Regards,

    I am very sorry for the delay in getting the swap in the mail. I have been dealing with the return of my wife's Lymphoma. She was admitted to the hospital this morning for her Chemo. Anyway thanks for a great swap I hope you have an amazing season on the water. Tight Lines, Bob Tracking info by PM

    That sure can. So far my .270 shooting 150 gr. Nosler partitions have done the job for me. I'm thinking about a .300 PRC or going back to an '06

    Family commitments pinned me down and I only managed 2 hours of stream time this weekend. I got 3 eats from 3 strong fish but I have no pictures to post because I lost them all. 😫 2 of them out fought me, eventually spitting my flies and the third one left me with that nauseating little curly Q at the end of my empty tippet. The 20 minute car ride home was a long one - lots of second guessing myself and that feeling of throwing the game losing interception. They won this round but I'll be back, stupid fish!

    There is definitely a certain amount of sticker shock that comes with quality gear but sometimes you can get stuff on sale. This weekend I bought a pair of replacement Muck boots. My old pair of Mucks had zero tread left which made them very slippery and dangerous on steep inclines. They also had several wear holes which I plugged with JB Weld and Goop so it was time. I paid $89 for them 4 years ago and wore them almost daily. What are basically the same boots now retail for $159. Friday Cabela's was running a sale and had them for $119. I wasn't planning on buying them just yet but saving 40 bucks made the decision easy.
