Middle Bay Newell Steele , from The Angler's Lie reports that he hears that the fishing in the Middle Bay has been really good over the past week. This fly is best used when you are looking for a larger profile Clouser. Stick to a traditional sparse Clouser when imitating smaller baitfish. Bo Toepfer tells me that the fishing has been a little spotty for him. He reports a few small few and a couple of larger fish in the mix.
Stripers are the dominant fish, but a few small blues are thrown in for good measure.
They did catch and release a tagged fish Monday. The main thing that Bo stressed was that there was SO MUCH bait, that it was hard for him to get the fish to eat flies. Also, many of the pods of bait did not have stripers under them and he had to run around to find them. Brady Bounds is back on the water after a couple of days of engine trouble and he reports that the fishing for him has been excellent. Poppers and sliders when the fish are on top, and Teeny 300's and Clousers when they go down.
