[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]IN GENERAL: With "Cinco de Mayo" just around the corner and three days of no[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]wind and flat seas as far as the eye can see, who wouldn't be smiling? Cloud[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]cover has kept the temperatures comfortable and the beach not looking quite[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]so wind swept. The only problem has been so many tuna being caught this week[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]that the hotels had to send out for additional wasabi to go with all the[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]sashimi being served at cocktail hour. These tuna are the perfect size, less[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]than 30 pounds and not the kind that make you wish you had stayed by the[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]pool. While not as many as the tuna, the dorado and billfish are holding[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]their own. Back close to shore the larger roosters and even a few[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]nice-sized pargo have been providing a challenge for our fly-rodders.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Just received a copy of David Klausmeyer's new book "Tying Contemporary[/size][/font]

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]For the last month I have been hearing stories of Grande Snook being caught.[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]One monster that was verified weighed 37 pounds. Nobody is talking[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]specifics, so I think I will go check out myself in a week or two. If you[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]can get there, Thetis Bank has had a fair yellowtail snap with an occasional[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]dorado showing up. The esteros around Puerto San Carlos have not been[/size][/font]
