Holland 8-10-26 Evening.

[Jolly Time]

First I want to thank all of you for posting and sharing your successes and occasional fails. The network we share helps so much and I appreciate all of you a bunch.

We went 6 for 11 tonight. We went out to 125 and trolled north slipping out to 140. We found most fish in 125-130 early. North troll was better interms of current. We fished back going south and personally I think we were stalling our presentation. 

What went. Riggers 3 times per side. Raspberry Carbon with a stranglehold Hulk Smash was a great combo tonight. Hulk on bottom and raspberry cabon free slide. Both took hits and caught fish. Low diver 124 deeper on setting 1 with white paddle/pickle sunshine worked. 350 copper early took a fish with a 11" slick/pickle sunshine with short lead on fly 34". High diver late setting 3 150 back had 3 rips all with different flashers w/ flies white paddles with green/UV and howey green crinkle fly. 300 copper w/stranglehold bloody  knuckles went late and bloody knuckles on high dipsey 160 back late took fish. We had fly by hits and a couple crossed lines which messed up our catch number but we never got bored tonight.

The boys let me fish tonight which I don't get to do much. It was weird no buddy was out fishing tonight? I counted 6 boats.

Capt. Adam of Reel-2-Reel must have convinced you to load up on Pickled Sunshine flys.  He never forgets to mention them in his vids.  Nice catching last night.  Even though the warm water has piled up, it appears the fish are coming back in after the blow we had about a week ago.  Thanks for all the information.  You put a good mix out for me to consider on my next run.

I thought the same thing,  sounded like a Captain Adam fishing report. lol  

thanks for the report Dave, glad you found them, we plan on getting after them a little later this week.
