I was out there from 10 to noon today -- nice nasty weather for stripers. I caught about a half dozen, not counting one that screamed down the flow before throwing my hook. Fish to hand were mostly 12" to 17", including a small largemouth. Fishing was better when it was raining, and the bite tapered off as as it brightened up a little.
I was fishing a fly I've been working on, and the problem in those situations is that you never really have a good control group for your experiment. Fortunately, a guy with a spinning rod showed up and began throwing chartreuse, white, and pink and white curly tails at them. He said he usually catches them, and was a little frustrated that I was and he wasn't. I think we can call that a positive result.
