Fished a sz 12 black dubbed soft hackle I tied myself ( been trying to tie for about 3 months )
Caught 6 Bluegills all to small to keep and missed 3 strikes all in an hour and a half. Not to bad for a short time on the water and catching fish on a fly I tied myself was way to cool.
The weather is going to improve by mid week and if the work schedule allows it I will be out again.

Nice going, nothing like your first fish on your own tie. Now for gosh sake retire that fly to a place on honor. In years to come you can look at it and remember the feeling of that great day. Also it will become a benchmark to show you how far your tying has come along. Don't you just love spring? :D

This was not my first catch on a fly I tied I did that a couple weeks ago. This was #s 2 threw 7 but it still excites me to no end. Come on Michigan Fish In 2008
