This morning I had Emily from MD with fly rod in hand. In her short two years fly fishing she has caught plenty of redfish, snook trout but today it was bonefish. I got her up early and we started before first light and by the time we were at the first spot of the morning there was enough light to see over the slick calm surface of the water. It took a bit but then I started to see the tails and wakes coming towards us. After some shots at schools of bonefish and permit there was one school coming right at us. I positioned Emily perfectly at 11 o'clock and as the school got closer she started her false casting and dropped the fly right in front of the school. Strip, strip, BAM! I saw the big bonefish eat, the line come tight and then CRACK! The fish broke off. It's still a mystery as to why/how that happened but we were both heart broken. Emily had a few more shots after that but the fishing took a downward turn and the fishing died off everywhere we went. Wow, this one hurt!
