After about 20 trips out fly fishing for steelhead I finally caught my first one. And on a fly i tied myself!
i was only able to get a crappy cell phone picture but i haven't seen too many pictures on here lately so i will share (also known as bragging).
I was using my brand spanking new St.Croix Avid 6wt and Pflueger trion reel so i was a little under gunned but the reel was super smooth and the rod casts like a dream.
It is always nice to get the monkey off your back...It is a nice one for your first as well. Great Job...Now I just need to get the Musky Monkey off my back
well done. nothing is quite as satisfying as catching a fish on something you put together yourself, especially if it's the first fish of it's kind you ever catch
Thanks Everyone for the responses.
I was pretty pumped.
The fly i was using fell victim to what i think was a maple tree shortly after i landed that fish. fly fishing in small rivers has its consequences.
i've tied a few more so i should be okay for next time out. hopefully this is the start of a fish catching trend...
