Striped Bass and Retrograph 6wt Fly Rod

New rod in action... Excellent numbers and feisty fighters, especially on the trout-size tackle.


After cold water fishing, nothing like strong Serbian plum brandy, home made kacamak (polenta), with Serbian feta cheese, ajvar, and Greek yogurt...delicious!

Striped Bass on Glass

For the last few days, this has been going on... Conquistador fiberglass fly rod taper is fun on smaller fish. The action has been steady, and fish are little larger than last year. #vladanmilenkovicflyrods
