Considering the wind, which makes sight fishing anywhere from tough, to impossible, it turned out to be pretty good.

I ended up catching 5 Smallies for right at 19 lbs. Those were a 2, 3, 3 1/2, 5.3, and 5.5 lb'ers (only weighed the last two).

The 2, and the 3 1/2 were caught on fly-lined crawlers, which is extra fun, because of the micro-light gear. The 3, 5.3, and 5.5, were all caught on white, or Chartreuse Huddlebugs, and custom Owner jigs.

Oh, the 3, and the 5.3 were really tough fish ! Worked for like 2 1/2 hours total, to make those come into the boat !

The 5.5 couldn't wait to have its photo taken :) First cast with a Huddlebug, it bit, I swung, and pulled back an empty jig head ! Tied on another, and stuck it two cast later :)

Oh and BTW, I know that 5.3 well. I caught it twice last year. I'd bet my boat on it. Same slightly pinched tail... flatter profile... caught in the same exact area...

I might try to find photos of it the last time, for you to compare.... But I'm already sure, anyway.

Oh, and hey, I got some fantastic Osprey in-flight shots too :)

Here's a few of the best....
