I caught my first trout on a fly rod on a black woolly worm over 40 years ago!!
Thanks for reminding me!!!
So, if you remember, what fly did you catch your first “fly rod trout” on?

I caught my first trout/fish on a flyrod using a Renegade on a backpacking trip in the Lost Creek Wilderness area in Colorado. I remember it like it was yesterday, even though it was about 25 years ago.

Seeing this post brought back memories. My first trout on a fly rod was on a black Woolly Worm too, though it was a lot closer to 10 years ago…
I think my first trout was on a mosquito in the Lost Creek Wilderness area about 30 years ago!

My actual first trout was on a nymph. But it was on a guided trip and, at the time, I didn’t know one nymph from another – so I have no idea what it was.
However, the first trout I caught on a fly rod out on my own was on a #10 black with green krystal flash woolly bugger. That’s the one I really remember.

My first trout was on a Royal Coachman about 60 years ago (worms came later) and the first trout on one of my own flies was on a Rio Grande King a couple of years later. Boy time goes fast when you are having fun!

Caught my first trout on a flyrod using a worm. Don’t remember what fly was the first one I caught a trout on. It was 35 years ago and there have been quite a few between then and now.

My first was on a elk hair caddis on Brown’s Creek in Colorado about 9 years ago. I still haven’t been back to the exact location again, but hope to in the next couple of years.
I have trouble remembering what I did last month let alone what the fly was when I caught my first flyrod trout 55 or so years ago.

My first on the fly was on a fly that I tied myself, which made the capture all the more special, a Damsel nymph patern.

Merry Christmas Everyone,
I can’t remember what my first trout was caught on, but I can remember the first salmon. It was caught on a Roger’s Fancy about 20 years ago.
Thanks,

First trout on a fly was close to 50yrs ago. Cannot remember the fly. Do remember it being tossed with a spinning rod and no bobber or weight. Tight loops…? Yeah, right! It was in Yosemite Valley on the Merced R. and they still had the fire fall then.

My first trout hooked was on a dry fly. A Quill Gordon I think but can’t be sure. I had trouble telling different flies apart at the time. Not trying to come off like a dry fly purist, but when I first started I didn’t know about anything but dry flies.

Panman… if I could remember yesterday I’d be happy… much less last month.

There is no greater fan of flyfishing than the worm.
