Peterjay 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2012 Congratulations, Bro! Hope it's the first of thousands. You won't be forgetting that fish any time soon - I caught a rainbow on the first fly I ever tied, and I still remember every detail after 50 years.

Crotalus 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2012 The only thing that was equal to catching a fish on one of my flies was watching my kids catch fish on my flies,. Congrats and hope that there are many more to come!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it is not you could put it in a picture frame with the fish picture behind. Belive me if you do that for every fish, well... I hope you have a big wall!

Bucket 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2012 Congrats! Last year, me and a buddy were fishing a stretch of a stream together... I was hooking-up back-to-back on a nymph pattern that I tied, my buddy asked me about the fly I was using, so I gave him one... moments later he caught a Rainbow the size of a (American) football. It was a brute of a fish for the size of the stream. My buddy was super-excited. I was glad to assist with my own tied fly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
