The Mid-Coast Fly Fishers June General Meeting tonight ushered in the Summer Season as the snowbirds' northern migration left the core group of locals to continue on. The free form discussion saw excellent fishing reports spanning from the Tomoka River basin all the way down to the Keys! The fish were big, though some of the tales were likely bigger, but, as always loads of tips, tricks, warnings and information were shared. As always, all are welcome and I'll be glad to save you a seat.

Hurricane Restoration
Hurricane restoration efforts are still ongoing at Bahia Honda State Park. The day use beach is open and seaweed free, so we did get some beach time in.

Pilar on display at Worldwide Sportsman in Islamorada!
I really enjoyed checking out the replica of the Pilar on display at Worldwide Sportsman in Islamorada! This boat is actually considered the sister to Hemingway's Pilar that is on display at his Cuban home. I've really become interested in old, wooden powerboats lately, so I was glad to see this one has been so well preserved. Would you rather be in the fighting chair working over a world class billfish or at the helm, piloting the boat as Papa Hemingway lands the big one? I know which I'd choose!

Go-To Fly Shop in the Keys
Stopped in to check out Florida Keys Outfitters on Islamorada. A great little shop and the go-to in the Keys. Especially if you're after an IGFA record, everything in the shop is certified compliant I was told!

Bahia Honda Beach
Had a rough week for fishing in the Keys, but a great trip nonetheless. The beach and flats we planned to fish were over run with sargassum weed and stunk to high hell. We ended up driving to Bahia Honda just to enjoy the Gulf facing beach (along with everyone else in the area), but they didn't allow fishing. We just took in the scenery, enjoyed the history, a couple museums and a nature park, and ate some Key Lime Pie. More photos to follow!
