Of course we were not bone fishing at Deckers. But we were sight fishing to trout moving over a sandy bottom that reminded my client of bone fishing. My client loves to sight fish and had the skill set to present the fly 'just right' to the fish. He said, "I would rather hook just a few sight fishing than catch a dozen fishing blind." I agreed.
He hooked and caught more than a few. But what does it matter? And what does it matter what we were catching? They were beautiful, deep bodied with big shoulders and they came exploding out of the water. Some ran like bone fish (for a short pull).
Slightly over cast at times, brought some of the fish up to the surface for BWO's. But our tactic was mainly to nymph with a short line. No need to double haul; or single haul. Just keep it short and sweet. Perfect presentation. Again; black beauties and RS2's were the ticket.
Caution: Even though it is late May, we are still seeing some spawning fish so please ignore them. Look for the feeders on the flats and in the channels.
Enjoy the Caribbean sun.
