I posted the below link on the "Fly Rod Setup" and the "Mountain Man" threads below, so at risk of repetition I will link it again. About this time last year I interviewed striper guide David Hare in a series of 3 videos. My goal is to consistently catch stripers on the fly. The first two videos were about stripes in general. The last was fly specific. David's advice to me was to watch them when they make their move into the river section of the lake, that is, north of the railroad trestle in Alex City.

If I were you I would subscribe to David's fishing report or watch him on Facebook. He uses live bait but his posts should give you some indications as to their position.

I caught some in the Kowaliga area in early summer, on Puglisi flies, in about 8 feet of water. Nothing real big. I am still trying to figure it out myself. I feel like as big as LM is, and as big a striped bass population that we have, there should be more people fly fishing for them, especially this time of year when they get more shallow.
