MuskyFlyGuy 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2021 My wife and I floated a section of the Mississippi River near Monticello, MN today. It intentionally was a shorter float today 10:30 to 4:30. It was very cool yesterday and last night. The morning was a little slow, but the fish became more active after lunch. We had most of the action on a purple Tequeely and a blue Boogle Bug. There was a lot of bug activity on the water. Multiple mayflies, caddies flies, and damsel flies. We caught a lot of smallies, in all sizes. There were some truly amazing hits on the Boogle Bug. Only our 4th time out this year, so it was nice to have a lot of action. Full sun, mild temperatures, and minimal wind throughout the day. The guide is booked 7 days a week till mid September. Here are a couple of fish from the day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MuskyFlyGuy 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2021 Niveker- I use a 9’ 8 wgt that Steve built. The line is Rio Largemouth Bass floating. My wife uses a 9’ 7 wgt that was a custom build from the Fly Angler. The line is Outbound Short 7 wgt floating. Richmce- The purple Tequelly is our go to color. I tie it with yellow legs. If you decide to fish with Kip, you need to book out almost a year. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
