Marsh Reds

My friend Kevin and I spent Sunday scouting the flooded grass near St. Augustine. Kevin was nice enough to show me around most of the morning for a story I'm writing for The Drake on reds in the marsh. We saw four tailers, three that I took shots at. The wind was tough and I got a bit antsy. My first inclination is to strip the fly to entice the fish. What I needed to do was slow down and let the fish find the fly and then strip S-L-O-W-L-Y. Easier said than done when your heart is pounding. Seeing those full tails go completely vertical was absolutely amazing. I may be back in a couple weeks. The tides for the first week of November look good.
