Finally got a chance to fish my wood-strip rod!
Been meaning to post this for a couple of weeks now. I finally had a chance to fish with the wood-strip rod I built a while back.
Did manage to catch some fish with it. All of them were small brookies but had a great time fishing for them. They were small fish but were a challenge to catch.
I'm not going to tell you where I was fishing because Betty Hiner will just tell us there are no trout in the Black Hills of South Dakota so I won't tell you that we were fishing in the Black Hills.
The 1st picture is me hooked up with the first fish I ever had on this rod.
The 2nd picture is one of the brookies I caught. I know, it isn't much of a fish but I'm proud of it because I caught it on a wood-strip rod I built from scratch. I may even retire this rod to a place of honor on the wall (after I get the next one built, of course).
The 3rd picture shows my fishing buddy Jim trying out "the rod" in the beauty of the Black Hills, I mean the un-named place we were fishing.
