Another Hillbilly Bone Fish on the Fly!!

Well, after getting shutout last weekend and NO love Saturday I finally found a fish that wanted to eat!! Got on Barren about 10:30 Sunday a.m. after the storm blew through and figured the water would be too muddy to spot fish, but after getting up on the flat it was actually in pretty good shape! Started seeing fish and after spooking a couple with some decent fly placements I decided to scale down my leader and fly! That seemed to be the ticket. Miss a couple of good fish and finally connected on this one. Good day on the water for me!
