[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]IN GENERAL: Here is Pudge Kleinkauf's recap of her Women’s Flyfishing trip[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]that finished up Sun. (11/10):[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Windy conditions Mon. and Tues. Fishing was slow. Winds calmed Wed. and[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]fishing improved. We found a great school of bonito and we caught 30+ fish[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]before the fish moved away. Long, silvery tube flies with blue backs or[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]sardine imitations both hooked up as soon as the fly hit the water. Living[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]up to their reputation as “silver bullets,” these fish put a real bend in[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]the rod. That same afternoon, as we headed home, our boat captain spotted a[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]small pod of dorado. We hooked and landed a gorgeous golden-blue male with[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]the huge forehead that characterizes these great fish.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Day #4 provided some great fly fishing for roosterfish plus a few jack[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]crevalle. Our sardine imitation flies were so realistic that we hooked[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]probably a dozen pelicans that dove for them as soon as they hit the water.[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Our captain, who was obviously used to the occurrence, proved to be quite[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]skilled at un-hooking them. Fishing from a super-panga, we managed to chase[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]the high combed-roosters really close to shore. Their speed and hit-and-run[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]tactics prevented us from landing several that we'd hooked. A blue-tinged[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]popper tipped the odds in our favor. When it was all over, we had four of[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]these spectacular fish and the photos to prove it.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]On our last day, we took the 4-wheelers on the beach. Bait was busting all[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]over the place when we got to a rocky location not far from the hotel. A[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Mexican-look-down fish was the first prize, followed quickly by golden[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]croakers and trumpet fish. At another location the jack crevalle made[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]another appearance. And, although we didn't even see them coming in time to[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]cast, we had two opportunities to watch 20+ pound roosters chase mullet[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]right up into three inches of water at the bank! What an incredible fish![/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Great trip, great group, and great food! We'll be back in March, 2003!![/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Unfortunately, the north winds picked up again on Mon. and slowed fishing[/size][/font]

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]port[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]closed. For this late in the year, it is unusual to get as severe of a storm[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]as we had. The wind moved the bluewater out past the 50 mile mark and made[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]fishing for the sailfish a very tough proposition. However, the heavy runoff[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]from the rivers carried a lot of debris, and the 20- to-25 pound dorado[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]fishing has been very good. Some charters, like Bud Keany from the Chico[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]area of California, got 5 dorado and one sailfish. They were fishing the[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Fintastic Billfish Tag and Release Tournament with Capt. Javier on the[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Marlin Azul, and were not even targeting the dorado.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Capt Adolpho, on the panga Dos Hermanos, in one day got 7 roosterfish to 40[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]pounds for his clients. He was fishing in the Troncones area.[/size][/font]

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]port[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]closed. For this late in the year, it is unusual to get as severe of a storm[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]as we had. The wind moved the bluewater out past the 50 mile mark and made[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]fishing for the sailfish a very tough proposition. However, the heavy runoff[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]from the rivers carried a lot of debris, and the 20- to-25 pound dorado[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]fishing has been very good. Some charters, like Bud Keany from the Chico[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]area of California, got 5 dorado and one sailfish. They were fishing the[/size][/font]

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Capt Adolpho, on the panga Dos Hermanos, in one day got 7 roosterfish to 40[/size][/font]
