fly fishing silver derby

[rockfish]

saturday the 18 at manchester dock day break till 3pm



I know alot of people are fishing out of boats here, how bout in september we have a flyfishing only silver derby out of manchester, its close to seattle, bainbrige. gig harbor,tacome ect and the ferry is in southworth but the whole area just fills with silvers and its top notch, there a restauraunt and bar there, I can let you guys know when the fish are in thick jumping everywhere and the whole area is small boat freindly and loaded with srcs and the silvers are along the shoreline, even beach fishers can hit places from shore and I can draw out a map for the boat anglers of the best places in the area, shore anglers cant go wrong with the ferry dock or the state park and we can meet at the launch for weigh in, what do you say huh, good times, start something different, pnp woulb be good also but would be blown off the water , manchester and the surrounding area is usually like a lake with much more water to fish, what do you guys think, 1-3 week of september on a weekend.

Sounds like fun to me. I live in PO so I'm close. I have a little 12ft alum boat that doesn't get enough use anyway.

Sounds sweet to me, count me in. I might even have a couple spots on my boat if anyone is interested.

I'd be up for that.

That sounds really good. On a weekend I can make it down. I will bring my 14'er and if my 16 year old doesn't want to go I would have room for someone else.

I'd be interested. I'll bring lunch, flies, pay launch fees, and half gas :thumb

I live on Vashon Island and would really love to do this.
I have been fishing every Sunday morning from Dark till about 8 am and have been skunked EVERY TIME. I am at my wits end here. I fish with a 5 weight and a floating line and an epoxy clouser? I fish the tides when I can but have not gotten anything. WOuld love to come get some pointers. I know where I am should be good water (stone beaches, points, etc.) I just cant seem to get dialed in.
I would love to do this.
Best,
Griswald

I would be in your debt if you could let me know which area this is exactly. Is it fishable by pontoon boat? I was able to nail pinks off of Mukilteo last summer/fall on my 6 weight on a pontoon boat and it was amazing. Thanks for the info once again.

Rockfish -
sounds like fun - count me in. Don't have a boat, so if there is space, more than willing to share gas etc. I've got 20 years of boating behind me so no worries.

Well, I need a day off or two, I am now working 2 jobs. Count my butt in. Just let me know when and I am there.
Just watch out for the Ferry's, they don't like you in their path.

Cheers

Philster,

If you are replying to me consider it done if my son does not make it. Chances are he will not come. This thread will grow, so it will be easy to keep in touch.

I'm breaking the boat into silver fishing at Sekiu tomorrow. Talk at you guys when I get back

[Matt Burke]

If we could, we should set a date so I can take some vacation if it's a weekend I work. I'll brew my field coffee via my French Press and I'll have a some of my Spey rods if anyone wants to try overheading from the beach with shooting heads and amnesia running line. I'm hoping at least one other person that does the same technique will be there so that we can collaborate.

Griswald,
Try using a different line. Use a sinktip or a multi-tip line. I've had my best luck using a type 3 or 6 on my multi-tip line. I have friends that do well using clear intermediate lines. You will have more luck with these lines then a floater. The floater will have a tendency to lift your fly up closer to the surface and out of the strike zone, even with a clouser. If you are going to use the floater, try it with something like Leland's Beach Popper.

Hey, I'm tossing my hat in. Hey Ibn, how about a seat in your boat? Hey silvers, watch your ass!

Have to go to Europe the last two weeks in Sept. and Ist week of October (oh poor me) so it would have to during the first two. Anyway we should go when there are some fish regardless.

Bob, the I'll be the guy unrolling those 110ft. casts:rofl

[ibn]

Let me get back to you on that Bob, I'm picking up my new boat today, a new 17' boston whaler montauk 170. Should be a smoooth ride out there :)

I would love to participate.. I havn't done anything with this crowd yet, but have been wanting too..

My fishing buddy and I have pontoon boats.. will that work?? How does the salt affect them?

Where is manchester? I live up by Greenlake in Seattle...

Anyway hope you all are not adverse to a new guy showing up?

Thanks,
Noah

[Nick Andrews]

Guys I am in for a little derby action. Does anyone have room for one more angler on there boat? Looking forward to meeting a few more of you guys. -Nick

[Tightline]

We were all new guys once... everybody is welcome everywhere once its posted on this board!!!

[Roger Stephens]

It sounds like it would be a fun event to partake in. You can count me in. I have a 14 1/2 ft boat that I'll haul over there. If my fishing buddy cannot go, I will have room for someone else. Looking foreward to meeting some of you folks. Maybe could try the same kind of an event during the week rather than the weekend?

[sculpin]

count me in also, I've never met anyone from this site yet sounds like a great meet and greet.

September 18, a saturday how does that sound, from daylight untill weigh in at 3pm at manchester dock, silvers only. how do you guys want to do it, I can talk to the manchester inn to have the weigh in there, thats what they do with the blackmouth derbys, but we would need a permit. I say we just find out before hand whos going, everybody throw in 10$ and winner takes all, how does that sound fellas

Very cool. I'll put in for vacation on Monday. Is there a handicap if you're beach fishing? Can't wait to see Bob unroll 120 feet.

Matt Burke

[BOBLAWLESS]

You'll have to come to Europe to do it, Matt. Dang, this date falls smack into my trip which is from Sept. 15 to Oct. 7. Oh well, maybe next year.

Bob, the I'd cancell except for the wife getting very upset.:bawling :bawling :bawling

Hey Bro,
I am no Einstein but, by my calculations the 19th is a Sunday. :professor

The 19th works great for me as Saturday the 18th, the Huskies have UCLA at home.

It is a great idea and sounds like lots of fun, just hope I can make it.

Tight Lines & Go Dawgs,

Sundays ok for me, but I think I'm going to get a 10 dollar spanking but you never know

sounds like fun, I've never caught a silver. I guess it'll be a good time to start! Pencil me in.:thumb

[lcconrad]

Sounds like a lot of fun, I just brought my dad's 12 foot boat home since he hasn't used it for several years and my mom said get it out of here or she was going to sell it. Count me in, please.

[Peter Pancho]

I might be in too, Sept 7th is our 2nd anniversery so I be busy round then but will try to get my wife to ok a day of one of those weeks. Hopefully I'll have my electric kicker motor by then to use on my Clack.

PNP has been okay so far. Any other reports from Kitsap area.

[Curtis]

So where abouts is Manchester? I live in tacoma. I couldnt find it on the old gazetteer. If it isnt too far up north, might be able to borrow the old mans boat and drag along my brother, NewGuy, sounds like fun!!


And would a 6 weight rod be sufficient?
