After a few weeks of practicing with my new fly rod in the back yard with yarn I finally went out to my sons house to try my luck in his stocked pond. I know, I know not real fishing, but hey I am a rookie. There was a lot a brush around the pond so I had to make good casts. After the third cast I hooked a good fish which I fought for at least 15 minutes before I could get him into the net and get the hook out. He was a health 24" rainbow. I made a few more cast and caught another one.
I don't know spit about what fly to use or when but I think these guys would eat anything. In any event this was one of the most exciting fishing experiences I have ever had. I will be joining the local fly fishing club when they get back together in September.
