The team at Skwala has released a new film exploring some unwritten rules of stripers on the fly. From Skwala's YouTube channel :
Skwala Ambassador and Big Sky Anglers guide Miles Marquez may live and guide in the Rocky Mountains now, but his fishing roots run deep in New York City, chasing striped bass in the salt . In Bait and Switch, Miles returns to his home waters alongside longtime friend Arthur Cortes for a high-energy session on big seas and even bigger fish.
Using a hookless surface plug to tease stripers into striking range, Arthur sets the stage for Miles to deliver the perfect shot with a fly rod. But is it bending the rules, or just redefining them?
