First trout on Fly. Taken at CWFI

I had to come home early from the Central Washington Fish-in and work on my house, My daughter Rebecca caught her first trout on a fly. The look on her face made the whole trip worthwhile.

Eric

Kewl. I dunno about the character in the hat, tho.

I agree it would have been a much better picture with out him.

Rebecca -

Way to go !! Good thing you had a cameraman along to record it for you. Good planning.

Holy Smokes! That’s a big fish!

Yup, we weren’t far down stream when Rebecca hooked up with that one. Very nice fish for a young lady who already ties very nice flies. Good Show, Rebecca!

Congrats on a VERY nice first trout…in fact, a very nice trout, period.
Sounds like you had a great time.

Eric,
Thanks for sharing. That looks like another one of those Rocky Ford bruisers.

I could not disagree more. She’ll only catch her “first trout on a fly” once. What better way to show a very special moment between daughter and father. :wink: Nice catch, Rebecca!

Rebecca,
GREAT FISH!! I sure am glad you got it to the net… I know you had hooked a few on the great flys you tied, landing is just another issue that we all have to deal with!
I sure enjoyed seeing you and your parents at the FishIn, I look forward to seeing you there again next year!
Lady says “thank you” for the pets! And I say Thank You for the flys! They worked quite well!

Thanks Everyone for the kind words, Rebecca is enjoying every comment.
Joe yes it was Rocky Ford, for those of you who haven’t fished Rocky Ford Rebecca targeted that fish because it was one of the small ones she wasn’t sure about landing one of the big ones on her 4 wt.

Eric

Nice fish Rebecca! Glad you were able to land it. I Hope you didn’t lose your straw hat again. Its too bad that you guys couldn’t stay longer. I sure enjoyed your company.

PS I still have the video of you losing that hat on your back. hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Eric thanks for the zipcast. I used it as a floatant like the instructions said. Worked wonderfully.

Hope to see you all next year CWFI or in Lowell in Sept.

Rebecca its a tradition to keep the fly that caught your first fish. Put it in a place of honor.
