My grandaughter Michelle and her dad live with us, so she's been
exposed to fly fishing and tying for a long time. There is another
story on FAOL about her when she and her dad visited Tammy DiGristine
in Florida in 1999, Be A Kid Again.
Tammy has since moved north, and she invited Michelle and me to come
down from Ohio to fish with her. This was Michelle's very first trout
fishing trip. She has fly fished for panfish with me, but in her mind this
was the big trip.
The trout were scarce due to a delayed harvest season, and Michelle caught
the first - any only trout of the trip!
