Long overdue post... MY 1st STEELIE! :O

Well, a couple weeks ago now... I went to hit the local Tribs with 2 buddies off the board; L2P and FLOATMAN MIKE. I was excited.... it was a couple days after opener....So, my blood was pumping! "Maybe this is it! Maybe I'll actually catch/land one!"...... We hit a couple pools... nothing! I was quickly getting discouraged and thinking... "This isn't for me!"... LOL.... anyway, about two hours later... we meetup with FLOATMAN MIKE up stream..... it was the "Magic" pool.... hahaha.... I hook into one... fought it for probably a good 30sec before my knot @ the hook failed! Grrrrrrrrrr!!! SO UPSETTING!! Then I finally hook and land into one....Wow, the fight on these Float Rods are FUN! You can feel EVERY LITTLE THING they do! Even if the fish farted in the river... my rod twitched! :P

 

anyway, I'll stop rambling... here are the pics! :D Enjoy.... I sure did! *Can't wait till my waders come in! I'm becoming more and more addicted to this style of fishing!*

Almost EVERY floater loses his first ...which in-turn makes you aprreciate the landings that much more....it becomes a personal statistic to regulate your progress as a fisherman.....the key to success is always be consious of your presentation ....

 

Congrates on the first landing ...

 

 

even if my spelling doesnt present itself quite well

i also landed my first one earlier this spring, after about a dozen outings in the fall with only one on which broke my line as well <_<

Nice job man!!! I guess I got lucky and landed my first on a pin in the mighty Geen.

 

I have however lost lots of fish since then, lol

 

Better start saving your $$$ now, this gets very addicting.

Never heard anything more true than that... I've already spent $550... and that's just on the REEL, ROD & VEST :wallbash:
