finally got where i could get the flys my father left me (shrimp) out in the current.didnt have much luck at first,then about lost the rod over the side,17 incher came along and hit the fly and about dragged the rod and all out of the boat.man that was exciting.no more fish on the fly that day,but it was exciting as all the other fish i caught on the chicken including the 27in, spottail.im hooked.
also been practicing in the mpond behind the workcamp and catching bream and bass on the same shrimp…go figure.good practice though.next year…maybe this winter with enough practice i can leave the spinning outfit at home.not ready for that yet.
