I was hoping to hit the flats again, but the water was murky. So I fished near my place instead. It was very bright and water got little cleaner on the rising tide. Landed some decent schoolies today on a bright fly.

Flats Again
This month we had a good stretch of bluebird days. Unfortunately they happened during the East blow, when the water was murky. Days suitable for sight-casting were few and far between this June. This morning there were fewer clouds, so I ran to the flats for a quick morning session...

Fishing Between Rainshowers
The action continues... Sea herring and some squid are around, and so are striped bass. Best bite today was during the showers, and the rainbow was the bonus!

Eric and Stripers Again
Similar foggy conditions like a month ago, but less wild action. Water is still murky from constant winds. We caught some fish, which is good.

Retro Moment-Resava River, Serbia
Back in 1993...I was a student at Berklee College of Music (Boston, USA), and I went home, to Serbia, for the summer. Great trout fishing in Eastern Serbia: Resava River...beautiful unspoiled river gorge and wild browns! Rabbit foot emergers were the hot flies, due to abundant caddis hatches! Photos were taken on May 23 and June 26, 1993.

Slightly Better
Good fishing with slightly better size fish today. This one actually took some line in the current. It took sea herring deceiver with a bunny collar, size 3/0. It could also pass as a tinker imitation. Windy and tough conditions, with some mud.

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!

Change of pace...Graphite fly rods are so nice, and every day is little different! Multiple fish, multiple locations... Nice schoolies, fighting hard in cold water. #vladanmilenkovicflyrods

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

Stripers are finally around the house, bright silver and full of lice. The season is on, corona virus or not!
