I just love the month of June! So many great fishing opportunities to be had be it in the salt or freshwater.

This past Saturday I probably would have been striper fishing since it was FAC (thats flat a** calm) on the Cape but my usual two partners were tied up and many areas were socked in with fog anyway. So I made plans to take the pontoon boat out at first light to chase some smallies.

As I was rowing and focusing on the waters surface I began to take notice of an unusual pattern in the surface film. This fine glass smooth morning the surface film was not its usual self and upon studying the water I realized that hatch of all hatches must have come off there the night before. Not being an experienced Trout fisherman I can't say exactly what I was seeing but shear numbers of shucked body shells and spent flies in the waters film was astounding. Some looked like the flies you would use to imtiate midges and others were emergers of some type some of which...
