I'm about as excited as anyone could possibly be; we've just booked a week on the water at Harborside, ME, during the first full week of June. This coincides with the guided trip I got for Christmas on the Kennebec, so the rest of the week (at least as much as Denise will let me :devil: ) will be spent in the bay upon which Harborside resides. We have use of a canoe for the local pond, and a Boston Whaler for the bay area. Needless to say, I'm pumped! So now the mad frenzy of fly tying begins.
From what I have read, the herring run is around that time, and large, bulky white flies seem to be the meal ticket for stripers. Any other suggested patterns? I imagine that I'll be spending quite a lot of time with Bob Pop's book open, and will be borrowing some patterns from Striblue. Also, this will give me a great opportunity to fish with a new top secret pattern that I've been developing for night fishing. :smokin:
Any suggestions on patterns will be much appreciated!
