Default Re: First fish on a fly?

Great post. I remember catching my first fish on a fly at a lake in Bellingham, WA. Went from morning class to the lake, caught my first fish, and made it back for my evening class.

Incidentally, I found out via the Bangkok Post recently that Chiang Mai, where I live, is a world center for the production of fishing flies. Apparently the wages and work ethic here have attracted many factories to spring up. The article claimed that Thai and ethnic women from Northern Thailand are very adept at the fine finger work that is necessary to crank out flies. I'll have to go out and visit one of the factories and post a report.
