fly fishing hawaii:

this weeks salt.

 

took advantage of the beachy weather this week and fished the salt a couple of days.  i sight fished my trusty dual the sage 890-4 tcx and abel super 7 on wednesday.  the fishing that day was pretty tough.  decent sun but just not that much fish around and the few i saw just weren’t into it.  what can i say except sometimes like that.  i did manage to sight up an omilu (bluefin trevally) on a little brown dubbed crab fly that i whipped up out of my head earlier that morning.  i like to  fish new flies everytime out, it adds a little extra fun, excitement, and motivation for me to get out and pound.

 

undaunted by the tough fishing on wednesday, and not wanting to drive out to hi kai, went out again to ke’ehi on friday with e.t. and doug lum.  this time i took out the sage 7126-4 tcx (the deathstar) with an abel 3 (actually my first abel ever that i got years ago from chris over at the caddis fly shop).  add to that the  480 or 510 airflo scandi compact and what you have is a serious little two handed bombarama.  the low tide started off slow and we got pounded by a little weather.  when the front moved out and the tide began to push the fish started showing up.  we fished the push for about an hour, caught some bones and were out of there by two thirty.  just in time to miss the traffic... perfect.  except for that mini storm system that moved through on friday, the weather has finally become on par with normal summer conditions.  next in line is the fall but when that’s going to happen is anyones guess.  so never mind what it’s supposed to be like or has been, it’s on par gorgeous hawaii weather right now so get on it before it’s gone.  there’s fish out there just waiting to put a bend in your rod and a smile on your face.
