First chance I had to get out fishing since I built the rod.
I had two on , an 18-20" brooke trout which I almost had in (released at feet …unintentionaly) and this fat Brown you see below (released in good shape) (tuff takin pictures when your by yourself) The fishing was very slow , but I managed to christen the rod anyhow. There are bigger ones waiting for this little stick…all in due time…Ed
OH …I failed to mention : I also caught a Mallard Duck with the rod on a dry fly! Was quite a tussle, but both rod and duck survived the ordeal.
Nicely done, Ed.

Now that Ed is one nice brown. What a way to break in a rod!
Now that… That’s a beauty! 
Oh, the fish is OK, too. :mrgreen:
