Tuesday before the water blew out on the Bogy I landed my 1st winter run on the the swung fly. I am new to this this! What a rush I never expected! Big swirl and the fight was on. 10 min. in I was beginning to wonder if it was gear problem as to why i could not turn his head to shore or my inexperience fighting with a fly rod. Granted I have landed 100's on the spinning/casting setup but this was different. Working the 13 foot rod was different. As it turns out the fish was 15#+ and that was why I had a bitch of a time. It was a major tug of war, and in the end, all by myself, I could not get a pic during the release...damn. That's ok because I am hooked to do more before it closes, and have the confidence in my presentation and fly patterns that I never had before. Thanks OP.
