Banged the fly almost as soon as it hit the water and did most of his trashing and tugging on top. Fun on the glass 4wt...

The weather finally broke, down from 105 to the mid 80's. Broke out my little R.L. Winston 7-1/2' 4wt bamboo rod and went bass hunting. I caught a few small ones but it's the lake with the big cats...
Nice!!!!!! (10 characters)
Took my little Winston 3wt out today in search of a few gills and they liked a black pheasant tail nymph...

What's up with the weird PM's that are mostly punctuation marks? And what's the sender trying to achieve?
Sorry; double post due to dyslectic title :p

I couldn't get the fly out of his mouth but I had a gripper...
Yep. Black wooly bugger under an indicator.
Cats were playing on Friday. The first one went a little over 20"; the second a bit over 26". Caught a few more but didn't bother with pics. I did get my second ever fishing injury on the second...
Kinda. Sorta. Pulled this out of the fly box; don't know what it's called or even where it came from. I do know the big fella actually straightened out the hook! I bent it back and caught a few...
