Re: First fish on a fly?
Wonderful story.
I was introduced to fly fishing by a friend while steelhead fishing. He handed me his rod and tried to teach me how to cast. After a while he told me he had never seen anybody so bad and that I would probably never be able to cast. I went out and bought a cheap Eagle Claw spin/fly combo and headed for the hills. Picked up 5 cheap flies and proceeded to lose the first four without getting the fly on the water. The 5th cast somehow magically landed on the water and a 4'' trout engulfed it. Its hard to believe that was some 27 years ago. I spent an hr and a half on the river today and I still derive great pleasure from fly fishing.
