Copperhead to the rescue

[Fishfinder]

I had a trip Friday with a customer that had never caught a saltwater fish on a fly before and he really wanted to catch a redfish. So I took him back in the marsh and hoped for the best. By the way, I also had to help him with his casting since he mostly fly fished in fresh water and didn't cast very far. Luckily there was very little wind and he was a quick learner. We ended up having one of the best 1/2 days fly fishing that I have had a long time. The water was a little dirty so I decided to tie on one of Randy Hamiltons original Copperhead Flies. And that seemed to do the trick quite well! He caught 10 out of 12 reds in about 2 hours, and I never had to move the skiff until it was time to go home. He also caught 2 ,19 inch flounder to top things off!

Pretty work Joe.

Do you have some close up pics of that fly?

Our flatties further north love the copper flash too.

Great report Joe, love it when a day comes together like that. The white Murdens Wolber has been the ticket here as the schools are eating little bunker here...
