re: The Fly Fishing Thread: Questions, pics, discussion all here

That little dude was worn out by the time I got him on the boat. He was a real pain to get on the reel. I had a pile of line off to make a long cast and he hit almost immediately, basically my third strip. He would dive deep enough to the point I had about 10' of slack and then head towards the surface, so I fighters to him with my hands on the line for 3-4 minutes. Finally got him on the reel and after about two runs on the drag he was done
