First cast of the year

[Dave E]

My first cast of the year was back in January.

The fly, a # 6 Gray over White Bucktail Pond Smelt ( see photo )
There are usually some pond smelt at or near the surface on cold winter mornings here.

Rig: Six weight rod with type II shooting head and a six foot ten pound leader.

Target: Landlocked Salmon, Rainbows and Black Bass.

Success with the Bows and LL Salmon.

Best, Dave
