Schooling Small Striped Bass Are Like Trout (sort of)

Catching fish tonight. 3 in a row. On my fly. Two were sight casting. One was on the first cast a couple minutes after seeing a bass rise to a spearing or some baitfish. One cast and BOOM!
SO SATISFYING!
Like trout fishing but in salt. Moving water, shallow rocks and riffles, rising fish, flyrod, cast to the rise, lift the rod tip fish on!

The actual fly:
