If this link works, you’ll see the results of my last excursion. The bass and bluegills here are finally starting to take surface bugs

Nice catch and nice pic! Congats.
Nice fish and photo! What brand, model is your fly reel?

DShock–
The reel is a Scierra XDP. It’s a European reel that has just started popping up over here. In fact I was field testing the reel and the rod (Scierra HM3, 9’ 6wt) the day I took that pic. Had the rig out for wipers a couple times since. Really liking it a lot.
Hi Tim,
It was great to meet you at the shop. A pleasure.
The picture is great!
I also appreciate you showing and demonstrating the vise and the other help with materials.
Thanks and regards,
Gandolf
