Fall Blues and Stripers
After the International Fly Tying Symposium, Chuck and Ben Furinsky, and our friend from Holland, Theo Bakelaar, went searching for blues and stripers. They fished all day and finally found three large flocks of birds diving over bait. The fish were there and all of them were into both blues a stripers for they couple of hours. Theo had brought a new cane rod specifically built with blues and stripers in mind, and he had the opportunity to christen it. He used his big twister-tail eel skin flies to hook one fish after another. Wonderful.
