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.

With a guy catching a steelhead on the swing, another saying he prefers to "flyfish" with an indicator, and Parker chiming in about flyfishing (though, surprisingly, he has yet to re-post a pic yet wink )...there's no reason this thread can't make it to seven pages, too smile

Fish on...

You guys are really letting me down.

Do I have to post a pic of a fish I caught on a bead, with a centerpin of all things, to get this started?

Fish on...

No Todd, this is a fly fishing thread. Why don't you post a photo of your fly caught steelhead?

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.
