Summer's take of Kayak flyfishing

[kevinfry]

A variety of flyrod fish caught from the Kayak. Most from Gifford Pichot lake but also a couple from The Conestoga and Octorara Reservoir. All on my own flies290987958_10160433931644783_8005801425478231886_n.jpg?_nc_cat=107&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=Q41sGpHe2B8AX__0Y5n&_nc_ht=scontent.fpit1-1.fna&oh=00_AT-dGLNVrigdadBVIYGgKOkTsXxRzcKf5pvS62IFvbAx-w&oe=631F55A2.jpg294692482_10160472792819783_8228319856786326589_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=730e14&_nc_ohc=4swZHkRKRKYAX-5IxiR&_nc_ht=scontent.fpit1-1.fna&oh=00_AT9WdRLlu78J0tAydkt7U_fQNJoNHJTOAY3gUCuJr-xNGA&oe=631F4FFD.jpg298573863_10160504931234783_6189077635205816563_n.jpg?_nc_cat=105&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=uvSX_2reuHkAX95yMNO&_nc_ht=scontent.fpit1-1.fna&oh=00_AT8e0zo7pVHeCDwFTVRgq923DS6Fu9BUt7tXzeCE8b4iHw&oe=631F6446.jpg290981186_10160433931609783_3088942598965023850_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=BQ1-5fxfE60AX_zW2Qy&tn=qgtUEMLswDSFYAh2&_nc_ht=scontent.fpit1-1.fna&oh=00_AT9mpLy2vxocR0plPk4eSM3eXE4f-QTQKnYoePs9cuBf3w&oe=631FE3291134986_10160433931664783_2832311539331861465_n.jpg?_nc_cat=108&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=IT6yY4HlbMIAX_YS45Q&tn=qgtUEMLswDSFYAh2&_nc_ht=scontent.fpit1-1.fna&oh=00_AT-sWkPJqD8MWydJTHUzvac88sN5MKrWURupC0rur2VrDA&oe=631FA4291215207_10160433931719783_6474094616573394752_n.jpg?_nc_cat=102&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=ux11LxtrEd4AX_8VqCS&tn=qgtUEMLswDSFYAh2&_nc_ht=scontent.fpit1-1.fna&oh=00_AT-eY3BtnJrtgvLLOLb-gcLqHJvq6nfmNGDuwFckeqR-4g&oe=631EAC

Very cool. Great to see more fly fishing posts on here. That's a neat looking fly.

I do best with a lighter green body...but yeah it was a killer in June. Here is a video on the pattern.....done by a Maryland flytier. Savage Flies is a great fly tying site. The guy that does them lives in Charles Co. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3miZSoGZJMc

kevinfry,

Thank you for posting a fly fishing thread.

Nice catches and excellent variety.

Congrats on using your own flies. That makes your catches extra special.

I visited Gifford Pinchot several times in the early 2000s, staying at the furnished cabins in the campground. My friends and I had some great two and three-day trips there.

This was in my pre-kayak days when I had small aluminum V-Hull boat with an electric trolling motor.

I should return with my kayak. I remember the productive areas very well -- the rocky structure near the dam and the surface vegetation in the upper portion of the lake.

Did you have to buy a PA state park launch permit for your kayak? As I recall, I needed to get a PA launch sticker for my boat even though it was registered in MD.

Yes I did...I fish other state launches so I need an annual launch permit.....GRRRRR

Good lookin feeshes!

Looks like you have some time on PA waters. Whenever I drive by Lake Redman, I always think about giving it a try. Have you fished there? Any good?

My son used to live right near Redmond.....I never caught a bass or bluegill there.....just below it is lake Lake Williams (there are two dams in succession) and I have done very good there
