Did a road trip to go and buy some native flowers from a lady about an hour away. Made extra use of my time and took my free Albright Yellowstone 8 wt to test out some flies at the head water of Lake Norman. I got my first fish on the rod and of this fly. I will for sure need to start epoxying the eyes on. I busted one eye off and then lost the fly. Then caught a Spotted Bass on the second one and busted one of the eyes off during the event. I am really happy with the flies. They look incredible in the water.
