Well, I went to the river and caught one trout. It was not a big trout, maybe 4 inches but it was fun to release it so I can try to catch it again next year. For my first trip fly fishing, I am calling it a success.

All the help from this site made it easy and fun. I used a dry fly that looked similar to what was landing on the water and sides of the river, and a 9 foot tapered 5x leader. I was casting with a roll cast and was able to make a nice delivery of the fly. The one big problem I had was foot wear, I dont have waders yet, and instead went out with some flimsy soled water shoes. The river rock bruised the bottom of my feet so much that I could barely wade through the current. So I basically stayed in one area most of the time.

After that alot of noisey people showed up to the area and I believe the fish were scared away because I could not even get a nibble after that.

So for the next trip I will get a vest, some good waders and a secluded spot.
