Glad you liked it. I'm sure those cats were fun on the fly rod! I hooked a 2-pounder on a 4wt with 6X tippet once -- didn't think I'd ever get him in. :D
Bream are great, too, particularly when you can get them on top.
I used to fish some small bream ponds with a flyrod back in my younger years. Had a great time catching 'em along with plenty of bass. My largest hookup was with a bass about 6 lbs.....but unfortunately I never got that fish landed. Brings back alot of memopries. Thanks for posting.:p
I'm also a beginner fly guy- hadn't gotten the hang of it just yet. Fishing that lake, though, is on my short term list. Congrats!
Great to hear you enjoyed the flyrod fishing. Lots of fun to fight any fish. Congrats on your day and looks like a nice rod Thumbs Up.
Glad you had a chance to enjoy a great way to fish. It is that much more exciting to catch something on flies I tied myself.
That's a nice lookin rod!!!
gorgeous rod. nice pics, too.
Glad you had so much fun on something you built yourself. Nice job.
