Light tackle time

Trout fishing on the Wood River is good as fish continue to feed on tiny midges and terrestrial insects. Ed Lombardo said he and some friends caught fish on #14 ant imitations and Pale Morning Dun parachutes this week. They fished both the Pines and Frying Pan Pond stretches of the stream.

Fly fishermen and light-tackle anglers are also scoring in salt water, said Tim Clark of Wickford Rodworks. “I took a 30-pound bass from Jamestown on a needlefish and spoke to several others who also did well, mostly with soft plastics and eels,” he said in an e-mail. “Bring extra eels as the blues are ravenous...

“Albies are popping up from Point Judith all the way to the Narrow River with very small tins and flies accounting for the most fish, though more than one bass fisherman has gotten a surprise when his popper gets hammered by a lightning quick albie!”
