Kingennie return provides some testing encounters
IT'S been some time since I last visited Forbes of Kingennie in Dundee and what a transformation - it has been turned into a complete fishing village. Apart from the specimen pond, my own personal favourite, there are several other ponds which include game and coarse angling. Although by no means big, the specimen pond can be quite a testing casting experience for the less able of anglers but cooler conditions and clear water have made the trout start to chase the odd lure once again. .
FISHING REPORT
Galveston Fishing Pier reported flat, sandy water most of the day. Fishing was on the slow side overall, but anglers throwing cut bait from the T-head had fair numbers of reds, including a mix of keepers and oversized throwbacks, along with a few sharks. If water greens, watch for a quick run of speckled trout. .
Fly fishermen love challenge of going after mahi-mahi
Of all the fish in the sea, for this guide, the mahi-mahi is the most thrilling to catch on the fly. Not the biggest or hardest fishing, mind you, but when I think of exciting, visual fly fishing, nothing can top the spectacular colors or leaps of the dolphin fish. This week, fly anglers from Manasquan to Cape May saw an influx of warm blue water in the 12- to 20-mile range. This is warm, crystal-clear blue water that spins off the Gulf Stream. With it, a plethora of open-sea species and life has made its way inshore, and the bulk of these fish have been 10- to 20-pound mahi-mahi, just perfect for the fly angler. When we are lucky enough to have this water quality inshore, fly anglers looking for mahi-mahi should focus their efforts around areas of visual structure.
