My first trip out this year. After making the conversion last June from spin fisherman to fly fisherman, I only got out a hand full of times. I'm still a beginner level novice! I've been reading all winter and brushing up on my fly fishing accumen and I am happy to report I caught two fish Saturday morning and landed one. I fished the Gunpowder in northern Baltimore County. The fish I landed was small but it was a beautiful native brown. I primarily used a beadheaded pheasant tail and nymphed, trying to get that down first and foremost. I wasn't real sure on the strike indicator placement so I decided to fish without one. After figuring out the appropriate weight, I think I had the hang of it pretty well. The water was tough; low and clear and the sun wasn't out so neither were any hatches. I did try a small wooly bugger for a while, both dead drifting it and stripping for a bit but no luck. I'm officially hooked though!
