That's too bad, when you have a fly that is working and you didn't tie any extras, that's a heart breaker! I'll be going to Leech lake her soon to catch some trips and brookies!! Nice fish!

Dont mind at all infact if anyone wants to post up some more pictures of fish caught on a fly rod that would be cool. 

   Ya it sucks but oh well I bought it and cant tie flys I would love to learn to tie flys and just tie my own but dont have any of the stuff.

I'd almost rather catch small wild trout than anything. You done good.

DD- Fly fishing is a curse and it will take over your life if you let it, and it will be awesome! In all seriousness, as you get more comfortable with the setup and the casting, and you will, you will find yourself wanting to do it more and more and eventually your spinning rod will be left in the rack collecting dust. God forbid you start tying flies, because there really isn't anything much better than catching fish on your own creation.  :tup:

Here are a few of my favorites that keep my fly rods strung up on the rack...
I hunt, therefore I am.... I fish, therefore I lie.

Catching trout in small rivers, streams, and ponds is my favorite type of fly fishing. Not big fish but a whole lot prettier than those big ugly chums some people catch....... :chuckle:
