Florida Fishing Report: Capt. John Kumiski

Author and noted fly fishing guide, Capt. John Kumiski has posted a new fishing report. In between redfish trips he took some time to target sunfish.

My truck was in the shop for four days last week. After one day I was sick of being home (the weather was perfect) so I returned to the days of my youth, taped a fly rod to the bicycle crossbar, and peddled to the Econlockhatchee River to fish for sunfish.

There weren’t a lot of sunfish there. Usually as you walk the banks you can see a lot of them. I got six or eight, all redbreasts. One was the biggest redbreast I’ve ever caught, with vivid, almost surreal colors. But I didn’t get a stumpknocker, nor a bluegill. Kinda weird.

Read the entire report that includes information on a recent redfish trip via his website.

This Weekend

Me doing my best Napoleon Dynamite impersonation at a secret fishing spot near the FlyFishMagazine.com Compound.

Mom found a spot in the shade.

Did I mention that this spot was secret?

Tuesday is Panfish Day

The Southeast has been cooking under three digit temps for the past few days and the trout are stressed. This makes us appreciate that heartiest of fly rod quarry, the panfish.

Perhaps we should name The BlueGill Restaurant in Mobile, Alabama the official panfish named eating establishment of FlyfishMagazine.com? With the laggy Hampton Inn internet service I couldn't tell if they actually serve their namesake on the menu.

Here's a link to a Dan Kibler article in the Greensboro News Record in praise of Bream.
