For the past couple of months I've been spending my weekends running the pay-to-fish ponds at the state trout hatchery.
This past weekend was the first days that the trout were taking surface flys.
Never let anyone tell you that the backing on your trout reel is there only to take up space!
During the short time I got to fish, I was in to my backing three times. All fish over twenty inches.(don't tell my boss)
