July was a rainy and hot month.
Capt Rick Grassett reports that despite the tough
conditions, fly anglers caught tarpon, snook, trout, blues
and jacks during the period 6/20 through 7/3/10. Fly
fishermen from MN, fishing the docks on Siesta Key
caught and released several snook to 24” and numerous
trout to 18” on Grassett Snook Minnow flies. A Sarasota
fly angler tried his luck at Tarpon on 7/2 but the weather
brought them back in to Sarasota Bay where he caught
trout to 18” and blues to 2lb. To get a really good forecast
for the month of August, see Capt Grassett’s at

Greg Peterson Emailed me he casted at 6 tarpon
but only had two to bite his fly and landed only one.
Good job Greg.
The outing at John Millns’ was great as usual.
Few fish were caught with most being caught by Jeff
Janececk. Robert Fischer and Lance Pocock caught a
few. Walt Durkin and Dick Miekka also were in the
catch mode. Alligator Bob caught 2 and John Millns caught three from his dock. Two new members were also
there, sorry I forgot their names. Mike Perez fishing from
his kayak also caught fish but I got skunked. We all
enjoyed the fellowship while eating sandwiches and
potato salad and cookies on the dock. We are all looking
forward to next year’s outing.
Rick and Nanette O’Hara recently fished the
Davidson, catching Brown, Rainbow and Brook trout in
the same day. The trout were in 16” to 18” size with both
Rich and Nanette catching several larger trout. As usual,
Rick managed, after long fights, to subdue a couple of 3-4
inchers that will be mounted and displayed for all to
admire.
Capt Bryon Chamberlin, while exclusively
targeting tarpon along out beaches, is hooking 1–5 fish per
day weather permitting. Black and purple flies are
working in low light and dirty colored water. Using tan
toad patterns on outgoing “hill tides” around the new and
full moon has been very productive. These flies resemble
the pass crabs that are being flushed out with the tide.
Some of the bites have been vicious with the tarpon
coming part way out of the water during the attack.
Tight Lines,
