    Default I made a big mistake...


    Academy sports looking for fishing shirts since all of mine are funky and stained from river water. I happen up on fly rods, , blue gill and red ear are a second passion of mine, I committed to an Okuma 5wt Tempest 9', bought a few bugs and poppers, lost the bug, tied on the popper, walked the dam at the home lake, That was, as Jeff Phillips puts it, more fun with my clothes on than I've had in a while.


    That is all I needed, another place to throw

    Lol, glad you had a good time, never fished with a fly rod until a couple of years ago when my uncle gave me one, tried it out at the park lake on some blue gill. : ) I spent half the time unwrapping string from around my neck but I finally got the hang of it.

    And lake water? Maybe don't jump in after the fish and your shirts will last longer?

    I love fishing for bream on the beds with a fly rod . I'm not as good as my dad is when it comes to fly casting though . It's an art .

    I look like a flailing dimwit trying to swat gnats at times. Getting better, sitting on your butt at water level makes it more challenging, did a bit of "double hauling" last night.

    You been fishing around Joedog to long my friend
    There will be days when the fishing is better than one's most optimistic forecast, others when it is far worse. Either is a gain over just staying home.

    I assume you meant classes. If so, that would be great.
