Yesterday got to try out my new fly rod. Wasn't too great a day to fly though. High winds made it tough! Good news is, with this 80 degree weather they are moving in on beds. Only caught two, both nice size.

      Best move I ever made was taking up fly fishing in addition to spinning and casting setups. Keeps things interesting and enjoyable. Who knows? Maybe you'll decide ...more you wanna try tying your own flies!

      Is it worth joining that fishing club? I use to be on it 3 or 4 years ago.
