Bugs, Sun, Water, Rods, Clack and I hope the fish bite!

 This was a great day with a new client named Pat.  She is such a neat lady and a great fisherman.  She caught fish on every pattern we used that day and everything came together  for her when this 21 inch brown trout came to the net.  What a fish and a great day on the water with Pat.

Over the last few weeks I have spent a lot of time teaching the sport of fly-fishing to many clients.  New ANGLERS are fun to be around.  To be there for their first fish on a fly rod, or to see them start to understand the loading of a rod during the cast, or see them make and perfect cast, to see them loose a few battles to a fighting fish, or even lose their first fly rig to a undercut bank.  It often reminds me of the first few years I found the sport.  I would spend an hour retrieving a fly from a branch on a tree because it was the only one I had left and I did not have anymore money to buy a $2.00 fly at the shop. 

 Here is a nice rainbow caught on a guide special fly!!!!  Brandon was part of a 6 group crew from JFL that learned to fly fish for the first time the day before landing this great fish.
