What did you catch your first fish on?

Hi,

 

I caught my first trout (in France) approximately 25 years ago with a foam hopper on a size 14...It was a small fish but a great memory !

My first on a fly was a bass on a Mickey Finn streamer.

First fish ever was a goldeye caught on a worm when I was about 3 or 4. Used a bamboo rod and level wind reel.

First fish with a fly was a pike minnow caught on a Tom Thumb many years later.

Mine was a rainbow trout on a size 16 Light Cahill approximately 26 years ago. I remember that fly was still catching fish on top after it was no longer recognizable as a dry fly. It has been on my top-10 list of dries ever since.

A rainbow about 12" on an standard hackled, unwinged Adams dry that I tied. I started tying and fly fishing at the same time. 12 years later... I still haven't bought a fly.

Our fishing waters may be 1000s of miles apart...but

I'm with you there Hairstacker! My first was a little 11" Brookie taken on a size 16 Light Cahill in Sharpie's Creek here in southwestern Ontario; 7 years ago. That little brookie wasn't the only casualty hooked that day; as I fell victim as well. Since then I always pack an assortment of those dries (size/color) whenever I have the opportunity to wade those and the many other surrounding waters.

If were talking first fly then it was a Joes Hopper just downstream from burtons landing on the Au sable river and the fish was about a 6" brookie.
