Joe Hard 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2004 I caught my first fish on a bamboo rod that had a black almost thread like line on it. the line was wound arround two pegs that were attached to it at the grip.it had a dark montreal on it. it also had a small peice of lead and a small woden float. At first I threw it out by hand.I caught a small rock bass.Someone tried to show me how it worked and got me snaged in a tree behind me I got it out and learned how to at least cast as far as I could through it.

moskito_01 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2004 My first fish ever was caught on corn. I was 5. Trout was it`s name. I ate him. My rod at the time was a piece of stick cut out of the tree I was standing next to with about 10 feet of line tied to it, a hook and a pose. My grandpa had made that for me. First fish on a fly was a greyling in October of last year. It was caught on a little green and orange scud/Nymph type of fly. It rocked. I am addicted to flyfishing ever since that greyling attacked my fly and attack it did... Andy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SmallieKiller 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2004 First fish ever, I'm sure a bluegill on a worm or something along those lines. First fish on a fly, a 12-13ish rainbow on a blood dot. First fish on a fly I tied, a steelhead on an orange estaz egg. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JarrodRuggles 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2004 My first fish was on some magnled up piece of crap fly that didn't deserve the time to tye a knot. I tied it when I was 13 and it looked like some serious crap. I think I used a fraid rope and a duck wing feather.........anybody want some;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skeet3t 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2004 First fish was probably a bluegill caught on a worm in big Walnut Creek, south of Columbus, Ohio. First fish on a flyrod- possibly a bass or bluegill on a popper. First trout- Cherokee Indian Reservation, Oconoluftee river on a Abu Reflex. First trout on a flyrod- Hiwassee River, Tennessee, on a Muddler Minnow. Stupid fish hit three times before I finally hooked it. Still going strong- so much water, so little time. BTW- Happy Thanksgiving to all! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
