Eyes on the Fly

Post by Todd B. »

Well I finally managed to get out for an hour this evening to target eyes for the first time this season. Even though the water conditions were perfect, I was suprise that I was able to get into 5 eyes in such a short period.

This one was the second largest of the evening. The larger one was a little too big for me to keep a good grip on and managed to get free before I could snap the picture.

Looks like 2010 will be a good season for eyes on the fly! :-)

Hey TT,

Are you starting to lean towards the darkside? (aka fly fishing) :roll:

I typically stick to fishing rivers for eyes, and in most cases I'm fishing holes that are in the 6'-10' depth range. There are other fly fishing techniques for targeting deeper eyes in lakes, etc, that can be employed if I desire to fish those situations.
