Spent yesterday out on the water shrimping with my friends. A great day to be sure. Plenty of shrimp and lots of fun had by all. And to top it off it i managed a beautiful cutthroat.

As we were unloading people onto the beach for a bathroom break, i heard a splash behind me. thinking for sure it was one of my friends tossing rocks to trick me i ignored it until i took a second look around and saw it couldnt have been anything but a fish.

I quickly stripped reel off my line and launched a cast out towards the receding ripples. As my fly sank i stripped off more line for my next cast and then started to strip the fly slowly towards me. It might have moved about an inch before it got hammered by a nice fish the proceded to cartwheel out of the water, jumping 6 times before coming to hand.

1 cast, 1 fish and a cherry on top to a perfect day.

Very nice!

that is a great photo !
