Re: [VFB] Trip report: Miami peacocks

[Ginger Allen]

Were you bank fishing? Can you tell me where?

Hi Everybody,

 

Managed to get down to Miami for the morning. Went to a lake and found peacocks all over the place! Finally found a nice, aggressive, pre-spawn pair with a bunch of singles hanging around.. Once I figured out the retrieve they were all over my flies. Hooked one and my tippet broke (right under the knot). Quickly retied and got another one. Man these things are awesome, this one jumped a bunch, shook it's head, tried to take off on runs, it was a blast! Here are some pics:
