Yup! Great fish to catch on a fly rod and easy too. I wish I could get you some of my killer pearl wooly buggers. It’s the third and fourth fly down from the top left.
We’ve got a lot of Whipers out here that I have heard are really fun to fish for, but you need a boat to get to them.
We get a strong striper run that should be starting in a couple of weeks in the Congaree and Saluda Rivers.
I’ve caught a couple of six to eight pound stripers on clousers which puts a nice bend in the eight weight. The Congaree and Saluda Rivers are pretty big water and there are stripers pushing fifty pounds that run each spring and summer. I’m looking forward to learning that aspect of the fishery more this summer.And then you can also chase them on the big water of Lake Murray. We’ve caught them trolling flies at night which is quite a thrill. I’ve heard grand stories of people coming across them schooling and crashing bait…but I’ve yet to time it right to find them doing that.
Mike A…I really like the big eyes on several of your patterns…sharp looking flies…
Thanks Cameron, the eyes have it, or at least that’s what they say… They can be too big and cause the fly to spin if you don’t build it with enough material to stabilize it.
Trolling flies for Striper is a blast and an great way to catch them. one thing you learn quickly Striper fishing is that Striper prefer the prey to be moving. I guess they’re used to seeing everything running away from them.
Yeaaa hooooo! Good job Zach!!!
If there is a lake around with Stripe in it find the main trib into the lake and follow it until you’re in ankle deep water. Fish downstream until you hit them. They usually like a gravel area. You fishing this weekend?
