Last evening I took my Colorado 9’ pontoon boat and my 5 wt rod and went to a real lake for a test. After getting out on the lake I made a few casts with some sort of nymph and after fumbling around I managed to hook and land a nice little 10" rainbow, which of course released. Again I haven’t a clue what I am doing but I am out there trying.
Hate to say this but after a while I put the fly rod down and picked my spinning outfit and went bass hunting. Managed to hook and land a couple of nice 13"ers which also were released.
Today I stopped by the fly shop and picked up some floatant, tell tales, leader straigtener and rewared myself with a new vest. Oh not for the fish but that as of today I am down 46 lbs and only 46 more to go. Can hardly wait until the local fly club has it’s next meeting in September so I can go meet some real fly fisherfolks.
