This will prove to be the most fun I will have had for the entire year when we look back on it. I had 2 gentlemen from Japan, Kiminori Shitashima and his friend Hiroshi Ishida. We went to the Tomoka Basin and sure enough right on schedule there were the Redfish who had gone missing 2 days before. The only thing they forgot was they were supposed to eat the fly when it is presented to them. We worked the school for the better part of 1 hour and finally departed for the upper reaches of the river where we were not dissapointed. the bowfins were happy to see us, several were taken on artificial lures but no takers on fly. After lunch we departed for a more salty part of the river wherer we found a few snook sunning themselves. One on fly and one on artificial. A very memorable trip for everyone. We also had close encounters with manatees and alligators.
