Good to be home

What can I say its great to be home! I have been fishing mainly for tarpon since I have come back from the USA. Mainly the flood tarpon to about 14inches using a five wt rod and floating line using my black and pink tarpon fly. Each time I have managed to land between 4 through to 15 fish in about an hour. Its nice to know what is going on! But in saying that I will fish for trout again and as much as possible! Just to finish this report I went for a fish with Malcolm out to the end beacon. We had a great morning and Malcolm did very well, I will let him do his report! I managed a mackeral on fly and one on lure. I find when I am fishing with other non fly fishers its best to have a couple of casts with the metal slice to see whats happening and then get into the fly. I must admit I think I would have landed a few more on metal if I had persisted but this was never going to happen! All this same a great morning!
