Hey All,
Once again, my fly fishing gets put on the shelf! :bawling The dream trip to Diego Garcia via ship job went bust. :beathead I'm sending from an Internet Cafe at Chania, Crete. This is part of a 60 hr stop for fuel and R&R. I went ashore yesterday for some recon and souveniers. Today is the walking tour to find the Beach of the Topless Women. :eek This is to just placate my nerves in lieu of looking at fish. I don't know if this will either help or hurt. When the shore launch arrived at its dock, I noticed some people spin casting long rods the length of a fly rod. Action looked very slow, if not dead, on this Sunday at high noon. I decided that, since this is my first time in Crete, I might as well do the tourist thing for now. We will be back in a little over a month. I think I'll break out the 8 wt then and see if I can make a fool out of myself with some clousers. Anyone fish the Med before?
I got an email from my woman, and she said Buck Creek, a trib off of the Suiattle, is choked with spawners and what seemed to be SRCs--big ones! I don't know if Buck Creek is open season, but it is tight casting waters, if I rightly recall. Awesome campground there, too. From the posts, it's hard to tell if the fishing has picked up since I left. I wish you all my best! I'll share my CD of Greek tunes from the movie, Zorba the Greek, with anyone interested when Iget back. Love those bouzoukis! :thumb
