I don't know if I remember my first fish...I was too young. The first memory I have of fishing was at the local university pond, where I caught (actually it was more like my dad caught ) an I don't know what. The first fish I caught by myself was a 8" Brook Trout on a little Black Widow extendable worm pole. I was in the third grade. The first fish I caught on the fly, I caught this past summer on a rod I built and fly I tied! I caught a Rio Grande Cutthroat, the prettiest fish I've ever seen in person, and coincidentally, my state fish! I caught it on a PTN. It's so far the only fish I've caught on the fly, but it won't be for long!
