Wow…such an amazing night. Got to catch up with a great friend and then watch Jimmy catch his first fish on a fly rod….
First Tom met me down by the “spot” and we immediately hit the spillway. He got first cast and immediately we were onto fish. We got a few over the 2lb mark, while many over the 1lb mark. It was incredible to make short casts into a drainage tunnel, only to watch a 15” bass rip your lure apart in the foam.
Jimmy joined us, and after coaching him into a good casting rhythm, he was capable of reaching some of the more fishy areas. First we hit the shore…then tried along the island, and finally the dock held a fish ready for the taking. After some missed hits, we both watched as a nice 2lb bass rose to the fly and it was game on. Jimmy insisted on doing everything on his own, and I immediately ran for the camera. My little prodigy is well on his way to a successful fly fishing future. I know I couldn’t have landed a bass on the 3rd day of casting…
Below are the pics…
