bonefishing hawaii:

deano and the “bamb”

 

so this evening i went out to hickam with deano for a couple of hours of two handed casting practice.  deano brought this 12’  sharpes 8/9 bamboo spey rod. because i knew he was going to fish the “bamb”, i brought my 12’ 6” sage z-axis spey rod to make it a full on spey practice session.  we got out there at about five.  the wind was light which helped with the spey cast practice.  i got out to a spot about sixty yards away from deano and started casting (or trying to at least, it was not a good spey casting day for me).  suddenly i heard the unmistakable  sound of a classic click and pawl drag system.  i looked over to see deano hooked up.  i rushed over to snap some shots of deano and the bamb.  it was totally cool.  we fished a little bit more.  the “loving feeling” wasn’t on the flat this evening so we called it before the sun went down.  no better way to end a day than an hour or so on the water.

love the old skool!  fly fishing is not about what you catch... it's all about how you catch it.  thanks yet again deano.  good times.
