I have to confess my first trout was caught out of season, but then quickly (and guiltily) released. It was 1967 or 1968 and in Spinner1's neck of the woods. I was going to school at Univ of Wisconsin - Platteville and there was this creek outside Plattevile where I went to practice casting. The rod was a Montgomery Wards fiberglass 8 footer which I still have and had a nondescript reel with a level 6wt, I think the fly was a "Mosquito".
I started fly fishing for bluegill and now fish much less than I would like to.
