I caught this one w one of Mauro's flies a few weeks back. I think it was a black wholly bugger type. He hit the fly then when I set, it was actually on the outside bottom of the jaw up towards the mouth, kinda foul hooked, outside the mouth going in.
Great fight on a 5wt. Jumped 3 or 4 times. A bit of a pain to get off without pliers.

However when I got to the out flow to the Potomac there was a lot a surface action. As I got closer I could see large slender fish breaking the surface the diving back down similar to a dolphin breach. I began casting a large clouser with no success. As I drifted closer more I could see the spotted tail of huge gar racing through the water. They were traveling in groups and were in the 24 to 36 range and as thick as a football. Needless to say I pulled my toes out of the water.Does anyone know a fly(colors) to throw to these spawning gar? I don't think they were feeding and did not seem agressive as the approached my boat sever times.JeffSent from my Samsung Galaxy Note™, an AT&T LTE smartphone
