This is a fun event if you fly fish. Some very good fly fisherman fish this. I don't think it is a big prize event like the fall derby and (I think) it only is one night from 7pm-2am with a breakfast the next morning. All catch and release. My wife fishes in it with some friends and I may go this year as well. I am not a big fly-guy but I like fish and have a new fly rod so I will probably give it a go this year. I like to mil around and see who's there. Every year she has fished it the weather has been nasty. I told her when she was walking out the door one year with a 9 wt that she will need a 11' surf stick and a 3.5 oz Habs needle to cut thru that wind. How are you going to cast a deciever?

Lets hope for a good weather and more fish.

When it's blowing in your face and you have room behind you, cast away from the water and use your backcast to drop the fly. I don't know why this works but it does.

Sandman, if you fish it, use small piece of bait vs. a fly, this works well (a few scup maybe) and drives the purist crazy.

Sounds like a variation of garden hackel.

use a full sinking line witha 4-5 ft 20lb leader ,using a spundeerhair deceiver for bouyancy. Works for me!
