It's seemed to move the red drum off their usual haunts, but at the same time has ushered in the beginning of the fall speckled trout season. Specks are beginning to become regulars in the day's catch. Fish a moving tide and intercept fish in prime ambush spots. In particular, cast intermediate sinking lines at mud flats and oyster bars in places where the tide sweeps your fly into deeper channels. Deceivers also work well.
Croakers still cruise the flats and can be taken on gotchas, greg's flats flies, and small clousers.
Flounder are also still available to anglers working flies at or near the bottom. At the Hampton Roads Bridge and Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnels beautiful grey trout have been boated. Stripers have already begun to line up in the light lines and with these cooler temperatures, anglers are eagerly awaiting the October season opener. There are lots of categories for fly anglers. This past week's continued cool and rainy weather seems to have had an effect on the fishing.
