Largemouth on the Fly

Went fishing with a new friend, Antonio.  He's new to Western NY from LA... I think he likes it here so far.

I've been doing a lot of warmwater fly fishing this summer and giving the inland trout a break.  It has been awesome, and I'm already wishing I could get out and hit it again before the trib season.   This day I was with Jessie Hollenbeck, and we caught some nice smallies all on big nasty streamers.

It was a great day, beautiful weather, and fun times fishing  with the guys.  Tricos were really tough, some of the hardest Trico fishing I've seen, but the fish ate subsurface pretty easily.
