Hey Dave,

Congrats on the trout! I recently caught my first fish on a fly rod Sunday....floated a dry fly over a school of trout, snap! Once I got it over to me it was a....sucker!?! Haha yeah, a sucker came UP for a dry fly. Who knew? But - it was still encouraging and fun! =)

Hey Jim!

Regardless of species, it must have been exciting to get that first fish! I know I would have been still smiling and probably laughing at myself after I realized it was a sucker if I had been in your shoes.

It won't be long before you get your first trout, I'm sure. And remember....Pictures and a good story about it !

Hey Northbranch,

If you watched me tying, you wouldn't be impressed. It averages 5 or 6 minutes per fly!

Usually, I wind up getting to the point where I take off my regular glasses and fold them into a pocket and get out the magnifier glasses, so that I can see the line and the eye of the hook at the same time. Then, of course, the fingers are cold and I fumble with the tippet while trying to finish the knot! Need to spend more time with fine line just practicing the darn knots!

Dave


OK, now I feel better Dave... thought it was just me.

Every couple of years, I have to "up" the magnification... getting old stinks... but it does beat the alternative.
