Current Report
I realize Darryl isn't a fly
fisherman, but bear with me
a moment. Fishing from his
kayak around Oahu, Darry.
has landed some nice size
bonefish. Six and 7
pounders are a regular
occurance.
This week on Molokai he
noticed a large fish
following his lure. The
water was 3 feet deep and
crystal clear. He stopped
reeling and the fish took
the bait right at his feet,
a rod length away. Darryl
estimated the oio (bonefish)
to weigh around 12 pounds or
larger. After several long
runs the 16 pound test line
cut on a coral head.
Several local Molokai
residents told him they had
caught bonefish that size,
even larger. One commercial
fisherman told Darryl of
catching a 20 pound bonefish.
I know fly fisherman here in
Hawaii who regularly catch 7
and 8 pound bonefish, and
now I know there are larger
fish out there just waiting
for some lucky fly fisherman.
Aloha,
Stan
