By CAM Staff A truck load of kayaks from Confluence Outdoors was overnighted to Texas for use in water rescues.
I
t was an historic hurricane season. With Harvey battering the Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coast and Irma strafing the length of Florida, damage from high winds and flooding was catastrophic. It is in such trying times that the American spirit shines. Harvey slammed ashore near Rockport, Texas on Aug. 25 and stalled out over southeast Texas, dropping up to 52 inches of rain over the next five days. The flooding was cataclysmic. Major highways turned to rivers and much of the Houston area was under water. Even as floodwaters rose, lines began forming on the sides of the highway. These were volunteers headed into the deluge to launch boats from freeway off-ramps. It looked like the launch line for the world’s largest fishing tournament. It was a proud moment for the fishing community. Anglers from all over the region rushed to the rescue pulling bass boats, jonboats and skiffs. Dubbed the Cajun Navy, this rag-tag bunch of heroes— along with official emergency response—conducted thousands of water recues. And response from the fishing and boating industries was strong as well. The following are few examples of how the fishing industry stepped in with a helping hand. Confluence Outdoors leaped into action as the magnitude of the flooding became clear. They overnighted a semi-truck load of Wilderness Systems and Perception kayaks to Houston. The boats, as well as paddles and PFDs provided by Confluence, were used in high-water rescue by Houston authorities. Honda went to work moving needed products like generators and water pumps to affected areas. And while Honda dealers went to work in rescue efforts, Honda Marine went to work making sure those dealers were stocked up to serve their communities with vital equipment. Additionally, Honda pledged $100,000 to the American Red Cross. The pledge will consist of a corporate contribution as well as a dollar-for-dollar matching gift program for Honda associate contributions. Evinrude immediately donated a boat and motor to a volunteer fire department in Lockport, Texas. The second phase of their relief effort was to deploy a wave of engines to area boatbuilders as well as food and clothing. Evinrude also agreed to match dollar-for-dollar donations to the American Red Cross made by employees. Suzuki, through its Texas dealers, donated boats, motors, ATVs and time to the rescue efforts. In addition, Suzuki provided two outboards to rescue efforts for Carolina Skiff boats that were on their way to Ron Hoover Marine, which has multiple locations in the affected area. Orvis recognized an immediate need for rain gear and wading gear. As well as supplying as many as they could, Orvis put the call out for individuals to ship waders, boots and rain jackets to the San Antonio Orvis location for distribution to rescue personnel. Platypus Fishing Line pledged to donate 100 percent of its website profits in September to the Red Cross Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund. The storms and damage from this season’s hurricanes were enormous, and so was the outpouring of support. As anglers and boaters, we should be proud of the response from our community.

Fly Fishing GEAR
Simms G3 Guide Stockingfoot Wader
Goat Head Spool Clips
Without sacrificing durability, Simms’ has constructed its most comfortable, best fitting and most breathable wader in the new G3 Guide Stockingfoot Wader. The G3 Guide was awarded Best Fly Fishing Accessory at ICAST 2017. Constructed with 4-layer GORE-TEX Pro Shell fabric in the legs and three-layer in the upper, this wader concentrates durability where it is needed most while providing added breathability. It takes comfort and mobility to a new level. The wader comes equipped with a chest pocket, removable flip-out Tippet Tender , hand-warmer pockets, integrated utility tabs and also features Simms’ patented front and back leg seams, gravel guards, and suspenders with opposing YKK buckles that allow for a waist-high conversion. It is available in models for men and women.
How many times have your clunky old tippet caddies gotten tangled in the bushes or hung up in slack line? Goat Head Spool Clips are an ingenious new way to carry spools of tippets more securely. Their simple and compact design keeps your spools handy yet out of the way at the same time. A single Spool Clip will hold two standard tippet spools and fits securely to most nylon straps. Spool Clips are made in the U.S.A. from 100 percent recycled plastic. They are simple, rugged, compact, versatile and always ready when you need them.

Douglas Argus Reel There is no denying the beauty and simplicity of a clickcheck reel. Without the advantage of a disc drag, the angler is more in touch with the fish and fights are more fun. The Douglas Argus Fly Reel is a fine looking click-check reel that gets you closer to the fish. It is a shared legacy between longtime anglers and the next demanding generation. On one hand, it is a beautiful reel. On the other, there is no undue advantage given to the angler. Reel includes a twilled pouch. It is made in Upstate New York out of machined bar stock 6061 aircraft aluminum with a standard arbor, and reversible click check with rim-positioned adjustment. The rim is laser textured for palming. The reel seat is constructed of marine brass.

Arc 99+ Fly Line
There is a famous quote by Wyatt Earp, “Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything.” In fly fishing, accuracy is everything. The difference between success and failure is often measured in inches. All modern fly rods are powerful, but accuracy is the new frontier in design. Making an 80-foot cast in saltwater is prospecting. Making a forty-foot cast on the nose of a laid-up tarpon is fishing. The H3 brings a fundamental shift from flex profiles to a new frontier in accuracy and purpose-driven design. Helios 3F and 3D each offer uncompromising purpose. 3F is accuracy with finesse, a dry fly angler’s dream. 3D is accuracy with power at distance for pinpoint delivery of larger flies. The difference is taper and stiffness, but the design foundation of accuracy remains constant. The H3 is the pinnacle of purpose, designed to master the moment and meet the demands of accuracy on a spring creek with a 3F or a tarpon flat with a 3D.
www.orvis.com
Designed for today’s faster action fly rods, the ARC 99+ is a half line size heavier and features a more condensed taper than standard true-to-size fly lines. This additional weight and specialized taper design loads fast action rods easier, resulting in longer, more accurate casts. Built around our 6 percent low-stretch Response Core, the ARC 99+ incorporates the latest advancements in fly line design, including transition zones, a super high floating permanent Nano PTFE coating and a low-friction, grooved line profile. We call this ZNG Technology. This makes the ARC 99+ one of the longest casting, highest floating and easiest mending fly lines on the market today. 10

ur grandfathers used old-school bamboo fly rods to create some of the greatest fishing stories of all time. That most of these stories took place on famous trout streams still influences what people think about bamboo’s place in fly fishing. Caleb Turner, of Turner Bamboo Fly Rods, has a different take on bamboo rods in the modern world. “Bamboo has a special place in the very heart of fly fishing, from the great western streams to the small streams of the Appalachians, but they don’t come to mind when people are talking the salt flats,” Caleb said. According to the Turners, there’s a misconception that there are no fast action bamboo fly rods, and that only the fastest action rods can be used in saltwater. Most rod makers and bamboo enthusiasts know this isn’t only untrue… it isn’t even the point.
“The feel found in bamboo rods is often confused with action for people picking up a bamboo rod for the first time,” Caleb said. “When they feel the action in the rod, they often over accelerate their forward cast causing them to lose energy in the line.” Caleb’s recommendation is to let the rod do the work, and to concentrate on technique. “It’s easier to feel when the rod is loaded with bamboo, and this really comes more into play for us on the flats than trout streams,” he said. What the Turners do differently than most other bamboo rod makers is cater to saltwater fly fishing. They are located in Mississippi right next to some of the most technical redfish flats on the Gulf Coast. “We design our saltwater fly rods with a fast action for stiff winds and quick-moving redfish that spook way more easily than their Louisiana counterparts,” Caleb said. With water the same color as the redfish, wind, and the need to have eyes of an Osprey, fly fishing the Mississippi Gulf Coast is more like bonefishing. “Bamboo gives us the action we need, the feel we need, and it’s able to load up at short distances but also extend a long cast to extremely wary redfish found around here.” Caleb said. “Tonkin cane grows in a 30-square-kilometer area in the Orient’s Sui River Valley. It is praised as the strongest species of bamboo with the greatest thickness of power fibers. These power fibers are what give bamboo rods what they have more than other material used in crafting fly rods, their touch. Despite what action you desire, bamboo rods offer a certain touch you just can’t get with anything else. If a rod is designed correctly, you can have all the action you need and still have that great feel. The rod lets you know when it’s loaded instead of having to figure out the timing for that individual rod.” In short, bamboo fly rods definitely have their place in modern performing fly rods. Accuracy, touch and presentation are things bamboo rod makers strive for in crafting their rods. If you get a hold of a quality rod, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by all the things it can do. For more information on bamboo fly rods or Turner Bamboo Fly Rods visit www.turnerflyrods.com or email caleb@turnerflyrods.com.

was a dime-bright fish of only 6 or so iK e pounds that still had the power to get j o s, Ic the reel deep into its backing. There is no better way to begin a fishing journey than when it all comes together early on. We knew we would be experiencing yet another trip of a lifetime. With the sun only slightly hitting the horizon and a brief glimpse of darkness for what seems like only minutes, the days are filled with subtle takes of the fly, followed by sips of Brennivin, cast and repeat. We ended the trip in the same fashion as it started. Another sleek salmon peels line and leaps. At the end of the run, Raven dips the net and we release the fish to bid farewell for what is hopefully only another year until we return. With Raven being the pilot, Brian, Kyle and I explored areas that have been experienced by few. Targeting trophy fish in such a landscape with close friends only solidifies the need for one to explore, be bewildered and experience life events that shape you as a person. Iceland will leave your soul fulfilled but still wanting more.

asting into a pool where fish leap and dragons rise brings emotions that cannot be found in many places. From the etched lava landscape to the clean cold water, Iceland offers anglers a backdrop to a story that will always begin with the statement, “It was the trip of a lifetime.” With three trips in three consecutive years, I can use the all-too cliché fishing phrase, “I am hooked” on Iceland. Page after page can be written about the acrobatic Atlantic salmon, the headstrong pull of a sea-run brown trout, the rocky canyons, waterfalls, and the art of fishing a hitched tube-fly. There is so much that pulls an angler to Icelandic rivers. For the past three years, I have spent the end of July fishing the Laxa i Kjos, a smaller river in southwestern Iceland about an hour from the capital city, Reykjavik. The river allows an angler to experience much of what Icelandic topography has to offer. From the large pools in the coastal beats, where an angler can’t help but stare out toward the Atlantic Ocean, to the meandering turns of the pastoral meadow sections, and deep narrow-cut canyons that carve the hillside until you reach Thorufoss, the impassable falls, home to a famous scene from the popular series “Game of Thrones.” The landscape, at least to me, is secondary to those that accompany you on the journey. On this year’s trip, I was fortunate enough to return to the river with good friends: Brian, who has made the trip with me before; Kyle, a friend who would be experiencing this fabled land for the first time; and our guide Hrafn (Raven), who brings an entire new appreciation to the fly fishing guide world with a persona that is somewhat mythical, just like the waters we were wading in. Arriving in Iceland, most anglers have aspirations of watching a tube fly skate across the surface of crystal waters, witnessing the careful eat of the fly and the line going tight with the initial run of one of the fly world’s most sought after quarry, an Atlantic salmon. We were fortunate enough to be those anglers. The first fish of the trip was caught soon after arrival. It

If I note the fish are not right on the bottom with my Raymarine units, I make my leader up to 20 inches long so it sits right in their face. The rod I build for the drop shot is the MHX EPS-81MLXF. It is a 6’9” medium-light power with an extra-fast tip. I spool it with 10-pound Vicious No-Fade braid and an 8-pound fluorocarbon leader. I prefer a wacky-rigged, 6” MB Fat Finesse Worm from X-Zone, using a 1/4 to 3/8 drop shot weight and a Mustad Titan-X Wacky Neko hook. If the water has at least a couple feet of visibility, you can save yourself some time by utilizing an underwater camera. Knowing the fish down there are bass and not catfish really helps. This year I switched over to an Aqua Vu camera that displays on my Raymarine unit. Seeing is believing, let me tell you!
ome late summer, you just don’t see megaschools on the offshore ledges and dropoffs. The fish have been pounded on all summer, and with a few cooler nights the fish will head to grass, schooling on top and chasing shad. What were once 50-fish schools might now just be eight to 10 fish. These fish can be hard to catch, but as the numbers of deep fishermen dwindle, the more apt the fish will be to bite. The community holes are the places to begin looking. Community holes earn that reputation because fish live there. It is rare for all the fish from a mega-school to up and leave, so chances are you’ll still be able to catch a few. If they’re not right on the main part of the community hole, look for transition areas leading to where the shad will be in fall. A lot of times you just have to get out there with the graph and hunt for them. You can also fish for them. There are random groups of fish scattered up and down ledges. Anglers who spend a lot of time graphing will miss these roaming fish. While covering water by moving down a ledge, you are likely to run into some. If I am able to locate a small school with my electronics, my first choice is a 12-inch worm Texas rigged on a ½-ounce weight. I use 14- to 17-pound Vicious fluorocarbon. I enjoy this technique so much that I helped design the perfect hook for it. The Mustad 2X Big Bite hook in 5/0 or 6/0 is perfect for a 12-inch worm. It has a longer shank, which helps with hook-up percentage. I’ve found it is also the perfect hook for my X-Zone Center Stick. I use the MHX EPS-86MHF baitcast rod from Mud Hole Custom Tackle. It is a 7’ 2”, medium-heavy power. It took me an hour and forty-five minutes to build this rod. It is easy and fun to Get more tips from Lester at knock them out. A ½-ounce War Eagle jigging spoon and a big crankbait like a Strike King 6XD will be the other baits I’ll throw. And you can Airline_CoastalAnglerAd_3-2016_Layout 1 3/18/16 1:07 PM Page 1

Charleston Fishing Forecast for October By Captain Mark Phelps
T
here are a lot of great activities to enjoy in the lowcountry in October. Eating fresh local oysters and shrimp is great, but if you like fishing, you must go for the redfish and sea trout—October is the best month for these two local species. October is “crunch” time for Charleston redfish. October brings cooler weather, less humidity and great fishing. This begins the official start of the fall feeding frenzies. The cooler water has all the mullet and shrimp thinking about migrating to the ocean for the winter. That means the bait will be in great numbers and on the
move. This causes redfish and sea trout as well as flounder to eat more and more often each day. Not only is the weather nice enough to stay out fishing all day, but also the fish seem to feed all day. Redfish will start forming into schools working the bait as they try to escape. You can find redfish by watching the gulls that hover over the redfish schools hoping for an easy meal. The redfish will bunch up the bait and attack at will. During this time the bait will jump out of the water and the gulls will dive into the water for an easy meal. When the redfish are in this kind of frenzy they will eat

almost anything you put in their face. Of course a live finger mullet or shrimp will get eaten; however, I love to throw artificial lures and flies during this time. Top water lures, DOA Shrimp or jerk baits work excellently for this. Also great time to cast hard baits like Shimano ColtSniper suspending twitch lure. Any flies that imitate a shrimp or gold flash work well also. The sea trout and flounder will not be as visual as the redfish but eat aggressively and often as well. The sea trout can be found on most current rips and breaks in 4-6 feet of water. Sometimes they will eat a DOA Shrimp as fast as you can throw it in. I like to drift a DOA Shrimp about 2 feet under a popping cork to find the fish the best. Flounder will be found in good numbers as well. Look for edges of mud flats or sand bars. Flounder will also migrate off shore in the

eptember’s shorter days and cooling night temperatures were a welcome sight to Lowcountry anglers who have seen the waters around the pier come to life. Large schools of finger mullet have appeared, making perfect fodder for trophy redfish, sea trout, and flounder. Schools Selena Riley of hungry 5-10 pound redfish have taken up fall residence on the large flat to the north of the pier. 2lb 4oz Sheepshead Live finger mullet and fresh cut bait have both been hot baits for these fish. As the temperature continues to cool, the sea trout will become more aggressive. Live mullet or shrimp will produce nice catches of trout and flounder this fall. A simple Carolina rig or popping cork are most effective while basic lead-head grub jigs continue to produce trout with gold and opening night being great colors. The rock pilings surrounding the pier Tiann Mullin make a perfect habitat for trophy size sheepshead. 5lb Flounder Veteran pier fishermen have had success using mussels, clams, and fiddler crabs to lure schools of 3-5 pound sheepies with the occasional 8-10 pound monster. We’ve also seen a number of Jack Crevalle lately so you never know what you could hook into. Come on out and see what’s biting! Don’t miss the Cast Off Fishing Finale at the Mount Pleasant Pier October 14 from 7am – 3pm. It’s our last fishing tournament of the year and people can take home some great prizes just for entering the tournament.

ctober starts the beginning of the best fishing the Charleston - Kiawah area has to offer. The waters are starting to cool off and the fish are starting to feed for the coming winter months. This month is also the time the big bull reds come inshore and the small bait stealers such as perch, pinfish and grunts are pretty much gone. The inlets and river mouths are where we target the big reds. We use a variety of baits on heavy tackle so that we can land the fish quickly and get them back into the water. Most of the fish we catch are 35 - 50 inch fish. Baits are whatever we can catch or have on hand. Mullet, ladyfish, pinfish, crab or other fish will work. Fresh is always better than frozen but if all you have are frozen, use it, the tide stage does not seem to matter. Inshore, the sheepshead bite is really good on low water working pilings, rocks or downed trees with fiddlers for bait. Also, put out some shrimp or mullet and you may catch some reds, flounder or other fish as well. Most species of inshore fish relate to structure in some way. It is not uncommon to catch many species of fish in one area using shrimp. Using mullet will get you better fish but limits the variety as she epshe ad and black drum will not take a mullet on a regular basis. The creeks are full of baits this month and you need lower tides to catch the shrimp in a cast net. I prefer a 6 ft 3/8 mesh net. The nearshore reefs are another area to fish this month. Look for days when the winds are calm and head out with a variety of baits, I usually take mud minnows, fiddlers and frozen or live shrimp as well as several different plastics. Once we get a bite going, switch over the plastics. Any shrimp pattern will work with Gulp 3” White or ZMAN shrimp will work. Others will work too, I just use shrimp. Try different colors or patterns to see what works best. Black Sea Bass, Reds, Weakfish, Black Drum, and Sheepshead can all be caught this month but the spades and spanish have probably already left the nearshore reefs. Capt.

Focus on Fishing By Jiggin Jerry
October is a loved month in the Lowcountry. It brings us cooler water temperatures, cooler weather, and the best of all, it brings us Halloween. To a lot of kids, this means a bag full of treats, and if fish could have a Halloween of their own, what they would be looking for in their bag of treats is Shrimp, Shrimp, Shrimp and more Shrimp! In October, Shrimp become more abundant in the Charleston Harbor and in the rivers
and creeks of the Lowcountry. They have now reached a good size and a variety of inshore marine species will be feeding heavily on them. For instance, Spotted Seatrout and Flounder will be two of the inshore species targeting Shrimp. Why? Do you wonder? Summer Flounder are called Summer Flounder for a reason. They move into the Harbor in the Summer, and during our Winter months, Summer Flounder move back out into deeper waters, but just before they take their Winter vacation, they dine heavily on Shrimp. This will increase their body weight quickly, whereas a 20-inch
6 CHARLESTON
CAM_CHAR_1017.indd 6
OCTOBER 2017
Summer Flounder caught during mid-Summer may only weigh 3 ½ pounds, a 20-inch Summer Flounder caught between October and November may weigh 5 pounds. For those of you that love to eat Flounder, this makes for some thick fillets. I also find that during these months, the Flounder fillets taste sweeter to the pallet. Spotted Seatrout will also be feeding heavily on the Shrimp. Their goal is to take advantage of the large food supply and bulk up. They will also gain a lot of body girth. This will be easily noticeable when caught, you will see a thick, humpback on a lot of the Trout that have been gorging themselves well on Shrimp. This will also increase their body weight per inch of fish through October and November. Other inshore fish species that will also be taking advantage of a heavy Shrimp population are Red Drum, Southern Flounder, Black Drum, Spot, Croaker, Whiting, Jack Crevalle, Pompano, Spanish Mackerel, Sheepshead, etc. Fishing with live, fresh Shrimp usually works best. Fresh, dead Shrimp will also work well. Many tackle shops will sell frozen Shrimp, which can be thawed and used on bottom rigs with a decent amount of success. The trick to fishing with Shrimp is how to place them on the hook. Shrimp is a bait that anglers find can be removed from the hook easily by fish, discouraging a number of anglers from finishing out the day fishing. It may send one home early. I am going to try to help by showing you a method that I personally use with live or dead Shrimp and even frozen Shrimp that has generated good results and has made it harder for the fish to steal the Shrimp from my hook, at least without them getting hooked themselves. To start, I use a Kahle hook from either a size 1/0, 2/0 or 3/0. These sizes will depend on the size of your Shrimp. Let’s take a smaller Shrimp, for example. I will take my size 1/0 Kahle hook then I will take the small Shrimp and
hold it upside down in my hand with the tip of its tail at the tip of my fingers. I will then take the point of the hook and insert it just under the tip of the tail in the Shrimp, then I will continue to lace it down through the Shrimp’s tail and come out its underside just where the tail begins. Please refer to photograph B for an example. This will mimic the Shrimp’s natural curl in its tail, at the same time, it will hide the hook almost completely in the Shrimp. This will also allow for a better hold of the Shrimp while casting longer distances, and since most of our inshore game fish prefer biting the whole tail of the Shrimp first, this makes a hook set easy, because as the targeted game fish attacks the tail of the Shrimp, he is also inhaling the hook at the same time in most cases.
Exhibit B Now some have asked does this work on live Shrimp, and if so, will they stay alive while fishing them? The answer is yes. There are no vital organs through the Shrimp’s tail, so hooking the Shrimp this way will still allow the Shrimp to crawl around on the bottom, and of course, being live will also send out distress signals, which will attract fish that are already in tune and waiting. The Shrimp can be fished under a popping cork, on a bottom rig or on a Carolina rig or even free flip with no weight at all on light tackle. Either way you fish the Shrimp, you will find it harder to keep fish off of them than on them. So this October, try to find yourself some live Shrimp, head out to the water and give the fish a trick or treat. I hope this helps everyone with their next fishing adventure, and like I always say, until next time, good luck out there and have fun fishing!

he month of transition is upon us. October brings a variety of fishes back to the cooling surf water for spawning. One such species is the notoriously sought-after red drum. Officially a game fish in 1987, red drum have become a South Carolinian icon that can be found on everything from t-shirts to store logos. Distinguished by their dark reddish color and tail eyespot, adult red drum are eventually classified as “bulls” once they reach over 27” in length. At this size they generally reside in the near-shore region, but regulations prohibit keeping these bulls for conservation and reproductive purposes. Although we discourage targeting them, very large bulls are occasionally caught off the Folly Pier. During fall they’ll pass along barrier islands looking for inlets to spawn and can work up an appetite. Large live shrimp or mud minnows are usually the meal they go for off the pier. A good rule of thumb though is to use circle hooks as to improve the rate of survival with a catch and release fish. Moving out of the surf and on to the deeper water off the pier diamond... many believe October
can be too late for mackerel surf fishing. Think again buddy!! We’ve seen king mackerel caught off the Folly Pier as late as November with a mild fall. The cooling temperatures will hopefully attract kings as they pass through Charleston heading south. On the other hand, their not-so-distant relative, the Spanish mackerel, have been abundant and continue to run when the water conditions are clean. Plenty of bait fish have kept the rods bent and the lines in the water. Joey Crawford | Folly Beach Pier jcrawford@ccprc.com For more information visit CharlestonCountyParks.com

Carolina Flyfisher By Scotty Davis
I
f there was a better, more diverse state for a fly fisherman, I’d uproot the family and move. Thankfully our state has more than enough to keep me busy for a lifetime. In the upstate, Brook, Brown, and Rainbow trout are found in several watersheds with the Chattooga being one of the most popular. This was the first spot designated by the US government as a “Wild and Scenic” place that deserved protecting. Several sections are designated as catch and release waters and are managed for trout. A 4 weight fly rod is perfect for most of the upstate waters. Moving south to Columbia, the Saluda River that flows out of Lake Murray is also managed as trout water and receives healthy stockings of fish. Much of this rivers success is due to a very active Trout Unlimited chapter that has lobbied for minimum water flows and other beneficial changes. Since their work, there is evidence of natural reproduction in the river and trout over 25” have been landed.
Striped bass, our state fish, also haunt the main lakes of the state: Hartwell, Murray, Marion and Moultrie. These bruisers demand bigger tackle so bring an 8 or even a 10 weight and get ready for a battle. Baitfish patters are the fly of choice here as the Stripers key in on blueback herring and gizzard shad. Often big Largemouth Bass can be found following the bait balls as well. Largemouth and bream (sunfish if your new to town) can be found in almost any neighborhood or farm pond. They are the perfect fish to get kids into fly fishing or to unwind after a long day. Any rod will work: smaller rods like the 4 weights are great here as well, although they can’t throw the bigger wind resistant poppers the big bass like. 8’s can handle the bigger flies but aren’t much fun with a 1/2lb Bluegill. A small foam popper or sinking fly like a wooly bugger will bring grins to any anglers faceguaranteed! As we get into the Lowcountry of SC, we hit Redfish country. These amazing fish are

known for feeding so shallow their backs and tails are visible. These “tailing” fish are not easy to catch. Accuracy and stealth are more important than distance so tread lightly and plan your shots. In addition to Redfish; Sea Trout, Flounder, Black Drum, Jack Crevalle, Tarpon, Sharks are all catchable on flies throughout the year. Venturing further offshore bring anglers into range of many more species. Dolphin, False Albacore, King Mackerel, Cobia, Amberjack, Tuna, and Sailfish are the most heard of targets but who knows what the deep blue holds.

h, the fall. It brings us colorful foliage, football, fresh apple cider and big ornery brown trout. When the mercury begins to take the plunge and daylight starts to dwindle, big mature brown trout start their yearly routine of procreation. What follows is a feeding binge of mature trout. Fish that have been uncatchable all summer throw caution to the wind. This is not the time for small flies and delicate presentations. Big gaudy nymphs and large streamers are the name of the game in fall. Large stonefly patterns like Girdle Bugs and Pat’s Rubber Legs are good choices as are the usual generic mayfly patterns like Hare’s Ears and Pheasant Tails, just opt for

a size 8 instead of an 18. My personal favorite fall flies are streamers, and something with a little bit of color, too. For some reason big fall browns seem to like streamers with a bit of orange in them. Sculpin patterns can be especially deadly this time of year. Whether it be the giant protein-packed snack a big sculpin delivers or a triggered attack response implanted in trout to protect their roe, it should be used to your advantage. It is also the time for stealth. With overly large trout sometimes holding in ridiculously shallow water, being sneaky pays huge dividends. Wear drab colored shirts at the very least. Even a camouflage jacket is not too far fetched. I normally work a river upstream, but this is not the case when fishing fall streamers. I’ll work it down. I can be much quieter and more stealthy when walking with the current as opposed to against it. If possible, stay on the bank as much as you can. Most fish will hit on the swing, so the area you expect the take to come will be downstream of your location. If you were working upstream, you could have already spooked a fish. Cast across, swing it down, take a few sneaky steps down stream, think about it, cast across, swing it down. Walking the river is crucial. Don’t just haphazardly crash through the water on your way to a good run. Hunt the river this time of year. Take a few steps and watch. This is where a good pair of polarized glasses are worth their weight in gold. Look over the entire stream, not just the typical haunts. You may be pleasantly surprised and amazed by what you’ll see. Trout will still be positioned in good usual runs too, but much more apt to attack your offering. Instead of heading to the deer stand or taking up a spot on the couch to watch the big game, get out on the stream. Just maybe, a kyped-up, big old slab of spotted butter will end up in your net.

he dry brisk November morning air is a welcome change to Florida’s Forgotten Coast residents, but not just for the obvious reasons. The summer heat has lifted, and the mighty red drum is hungry and looking to fill her belly with whatever kind of crustacean or finny fish she can get close to. As you move stealthily along the marsh, you search for the signs: a wake along the grass line or a tail piercing the water’s surface. Either one is worthy of a cast and, if presented properly,
can result in the silence of the morning stalk being broken by the crash of a topwater plug being engulfed, the scream of a reel’s drag and some enthusiastic expletives. Stalking the skinnies of the marsh can be a challenging experience. Reds spook easily, so stealth is a must, as are accurate and purposeful casts; all this is what makes the hunt so rewarding. The waters of Franklin County are teeming with reds, making the chance of fooling, fighting and releasing a mighty red an extremely attainable and rewarding experience. If you come to this area to chase reds, any shallow-drafting boat will put you in a position for success, but some are better suited than others. Ideally, the ability to pole, paddle or scull your vessel will give you the advantage of stealth, but a trolling motor and a well-planned use of tides and wind also works well on the flats. Franklin County TDC is giving away a free red fishing excursion this month, so enter for your chance to win and make your redfish dream a reality. The reds and so many other fish are abundant in some of the most beautiful places on earth, right here. Don’t let another fall go by without experiencing this amazing time of year along Florida’s Forgotten Coast. For more details or to sign up, go to: www. floridasforgottencoast.com.

alking a shallow trout stream, casting to structure in lakes or making sure you’re going after the biggest fish in an offshore school you need functional high performance UV sunglasses to see beneath the water. One pair may not fit the function for each of these varied UV demands. Shallow streams with bright sunlight require amber for most people. Deeper murky waters and overcast conditions need grey or amber. For offshore with bright sun and the need to see deeper into the blue waters, your best bet is blue mirror or grey. As an avid angler and someone who’s been involved in the sunglasses industry for over 20 years, my advice is to always try to match the sunglasses to the condition. This requires keeping several different UV’s with you. Most sunglass cases come with clip-on attachments so keeping a few pair of sunglasses with you has never been easier. As the conditions change during your day, you’ll be prepared to match your UV formula with the change. Once you’ve prepared yourself for these UV changes you’ll be on top of your angling game no matter what.
For the best overall coverage in any condition I recommend one pair of blue mirror/grey and one pair of green mirror/ amber. This simple modification in your sight fishing tactics will make a huge difference in your angling success. Tight Lines, David Maney Fowler’s Pharmacy 888-340-9021 www.FowlersSunglasses.com

FLY FISHING
D
uring the fall and winter, there is not a better saltwater game fish to target with a fly rod than redfish. Plentiful throughout the Gulf States, the redfish provides a great fly fishing opportunity for anglers of all skill levels who want to sight fish in shallow clear water. I’ve always considered the redfish to be the perfect saltwater game fish. It offers the angler a perfect venue to hone his or her sightfishing skills. Why? Because of two important factors: accessibility and plentiful fishing opportunity. From a logistical standpoint, most anglers can book a flight for great redfish destinations from most major cities in the U.S. Texas, Louisiana, Alabama and the panhandle of Florida are prime winter redfish spots. Each of these locations has experienced fly fishing guides who are knowledgeable and professional. Access to the marsh flats, where the redfish live in the winter, is quite easy and the number of redfish you see in a day can be mind blowing! Three factors for successful sight fishing to Redfish: 1) Can you see the fish? Visibility is the most important factor when sight fishing in shallow water. It’s great when you have a bluebird day and you’re seeing the fish from 100 yards away. However, Mother Nature usually has her own ideas on conditions. So, being able to identify fish even in tough lighting is important. Look for odd shapes in the water, V shaped wakes or even a subtle dimple that breaks the water’s surface. These are all signs of redfish feeding in an area. TIP: Use yellow polarized lenses. These will provide better contrast under tough lighting conditions. 2. Can I make a short cast? Many redfish are hooked 20 feet or less from the boat. Believe
me, the short cast is the toughest cast to make when sight fishing to redfish. Why? Because we are so focused on perfecting the 60-foot cast and neglect the importance of dropping a cast less than 20 feet from the boat. The 60foot cast is important, but it rarely comes into play when sight fishing to redfish. Work on your short cast as well. TIP: Work on a flip cast. Only cast the head of your fly line at targets on your left and right sides at 10 to 20 feet max. 3) Where should I place the fly? Redfish can see very well. I’ve seen them chase a fly from 20 feet way. However, I find placing a fly a couple feet in front of their noses works best. Once you’ve made the cast, let the fly settle to the bottom. As the redfish moves toward the fly, begin to move the fly with short strips. Once the redfish sees the fly, it will swim over and inhale it. At this point all you have to do is keep the rod tip on the water and strip strike to set the hook. TIP: On an open lawn, place small Frisbees at 5, 10, 20 and 30 feet from your casting position. Work on placing the fly in the center of each Frisbee without a false cast.
