This set the stage for my favorite snook of all, those challenging single females that are unpredictable.

sunlight was brilliant, and I could easily make out shell bottom and the occasional rocky patch over 150 feet away. They flushed but reformed quickly and continued on, leaving the hooked fish to fend for itself. It shook its head violently after I set the hook, did an about-face, and raced through its schoolmates. The lead fish sped up, but was beaten to the fly by a follower. I allowed my fly to settle, and made a few strips to catch their attention. I cast well ahead of them and slightly beyond the line I thought they'd continue on.

I looked up in time to spot a string of 10 or so smaller males shouldering their way along the ribbon of baits, but the fish ignored them. I scanned the area for sharks before letting the revived fish swim from my hand.

I plucked the streamer free and guided the fish along in the knee-deep water. I cranked while walking toward the 10-pound snook, touched its tail and it surged anew, but shortly thereafter I was able to get my thumb and forefinger on its lower jaw. The bright fish then switched up and made two clean jumps and tail-walked a bit before tiring. Its run down the beach quickly cleared my fly line and 10 yards of backing from my stripping basket. I set the hook and the snook came to the surface, making a half-hearted jump. I moved it immediately with three successive 12-inch strips and a fish rose, flashed as it missed, then made a solid grab. I laid out a 60-foot cast, and turned the short leader over smartly to put my Deceiver on their table. Baitfish showered in a fountain and the staccato pop-pop-pop of the carnage was music. The attack was immediate, and two fish tore through the minnows, one doing a showy somersault in its effort. Once I was within accurate casting distance, a second circle opened 15 feet to the right of the first.
