The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

Thanks for the heads up on the Three Easy Steps... that's good news that our Comms Director.

I felt bad for Rob, he was doing all he could do to get us into fish... but the tide stayed low a long time and that kept the fish off the flats... the wind was blowing (not sure it ever stops on Kauai) hard and that screwed up a couple of opportunities. I pulled the fly out of a fish's mouth once (luckily, not a bone) and fluffed the one bone opportunity. My dad had a tough time with the wind and only had one really good shot at some of the Trevalle and they spooked. Dad got one fish, a Trumpet Fish, but that was it. Five hours of walking the flats.

If it weren't for Rob, I would not have seen any of those fish... a salt water guide's eyes must be VERY sharp.

Oh well... it is a family trip anyway and the fam is all here and we are enjoying it here. The house is right across from the beach and it has been a great place for little Anna to play in the water... no waves here. A good trip.
