I was on
a recent fishing evening (I say evening as I have a limited
window to fish usually being a couple of hours) and I was casting my
way up a channel using the usual chartreuse clouser. I changed
flies to a new fly I have had recent success with in murky water
but had not tried in cleaner. Instantly I was into a fish but lost it as I couldn't keep
pressure. A few casts later and I was into a nice panny that I put
back. After a few more cast I was into another. It went on like this for
30-40 minutes until it was too dark to see and I had caught a total of 8
fish. The fly I put on was an adaption of the nuclear chicken soft bait
with pink and chartreuse. I have had success with a pink over
white fly and chartreuse over white fly but put the two together doubles
the fun.
