Fly fishing for pinks

[Guest FreshwaterFisherman]

Pinks have moved into the Current River. Me flybum and kbrest were down there today. Seen a couple jumping and I hooked and lost one. As the air cooled and the evening began to set in they began jumping more. I seen other fish follow my fly up to the surface, and turn back, some nice ones too. They were curious but didn't want to take.

Good to hear. Now only if I can get some time off!

This is the fly I got it on and had the follows with. Nothing fancy, easy to tie, they seemed to like it, or the very least made them curious

Annnnnd.... Tying as we speak... ;-)

maybe we should get a fly swap going? What are the thoughts on that?

[Guest FreshwaterFisherman]

I like the idea, but I don't trust my skills yet haha. I think I need more time to become more consistent with my tying.

On my way to work I decided to check the water level/flow at the mouth of the CR and saw these fellows doing their thing.

[Guest FreshwaterFisherman]

Haha, right on Doug. Thanks for the post.

I was like, What, pinks in the current. Then I realized this was a post from last year. Had to go anyway. Hooked into a smallmouth. Last week I caught my first walleye out of the current on the fly. Sorry for the sorta thread hyjack.

[Guest FreshwaterFisherman]

That rivers full of fish, I get a couple walleye and bass each time I go. Success has gone up huge since I started fly fishing there.

[hookset 18]

Same here. I haven't gone and not caught a fish so far this year. Still looking for a nice size walleye.

[Guest FreshwaterFisherman]

I've only got one 7 lber up from the mouth, right below the falls. A few bigger ones right at the mouth. Not on the fly though.
