Hey Frank-Are you fishing from shore? At the Derby dam? My fishing goal for this year is to finally catch a striper on a fly rod. I have caught a few stripers on conventional gear in salt water, but I really don't know anything about catching stripers. Can you catch them wading in the Housatonic? I don't have a boat. I now live about 5 minutes from the Derby dam, so I want to give it a try.
