Go with John Abbott's recommendation for salt water fishing.
Yes, I have been doing some planting of the high lakes and visiting some of
the "secret" ones. I hope to get out more in August and September.

Jeff,
What I'm looking for in info is which beach is good to fish this weekend,
what time and what flies to use.
I figure there's still lots of leeway for my bumbling but this should
minimize it..
I would hope.. I just had a visual of how I almost fell out of the boat at
Peterhope last month going after a chironimid rod.
You doing any fish planting yet.. and going to the "secret" lakes?
