Ay Dios mío…!!! I’ll take days like this over any hatchery blitz on trophy fish. Pure hunt , you are not fishing anymore, you are honoring the game Tim. Hope more sport fish quality keeps improving and more guys follow your hunting approach with a fly rod in hand. Absolutely awesome 👏👏
thanks Mag! Trying to spread the gospel. Fly fishing is the ultimate way to target striped bass. I appreciate the kind words... I always love reading your comments. Happy fishing!
I’d say at least a 9 weight. You want some backbone so the fight doesn’t last too long. Fight can be very tough at the end with anything less than a 9.

Use a bunch, but leave enough space for lead eyes near the hook's eye. With the hook (vs. jig), you can use a small cylindrical pushing tool to push your hair forward after spinning it. Way better than using your fingers, like I did in my tying video. Good luck! Leave any questions in the comments, happy to answer.
