First Fish on The Fly!

[Broker]

Went down to the river tonight before dark and finally got my first fish on the fly! That mooneye made my day! Nothing until about 9 oclock tonight then bang the fish started. Big thanks to TheJay for giving me some tips and setting me up with some flies, much appreciated!

Hey! Congrats on the moonie! They definitely puch above their weight! I got a few the other night after you left. Same idea, nothing really until almost dark, then WHAM! I'll be back that way again this week sometime, so keep an eye. I'll bring more flies... Maybe time to invest in a smoker too...

Not at all, he had it pretty much down, just needed to tighten up his S's and put a nice dry on. The rest he had down pat. Good on 'em. Now wait until a smallie hits his fly, he'll be a confirmed addict.
