FLOUNDERING FLUBBED: I'm back from my trip to Wachapreague, Virginia, the summer flounder (fluke) capital of the world. In late March through April, there is no better place to catch flounder. We went down there with the idea of targeting them with fly rods, but got blown out on both of our alloted fishing days. The first day we experienced 20-25 mph winds. Yesterday we were supposed to have great weather, but a front rolled through that brought about wind gusts to 30 mph. In the the calm before the storm, we did manage to pull in a few keeper flatfish, but none on fly. They were holding deep in 18-20 feet of water. I tried to get a fly down to them with Rio T-14 line, but found no takers. Oh well, that's fishing.
