Title: Fly Fishing today
Post by: Rapidray on January 10, 2019, 10:13:19 PM
Went out today and did a little fishing and only saw carp and minnows. No blue gills or any pan fish, no bass. But it was still a great day. The water was really clear also. Even though it was in the mid 50’s it was a sunny day.

Way to go Ray!  My Swisschamp usually pulls duty as my fishing knife because of those lovely pliers😊

Looks great! I have to wait until March to go fishing again and then it will still be freezing cold!

I have never fly fished but I have heard that it's just fantastic when you get something on the hook

Well.. That's summer up here!

Except for last summer (hottest one in over 100 years) when we went above 90 for many days

I think we all did! Here on the westcoast they didn't allow us to use the grill and all we had to do was swimming and snorkeling

First and last time I went fly fishing I got the hook in the collar of my shirt. It's a bit of a learning curve. I've just used regular rod and reel all my time fishing.

However, for Christmas I was given a starter Fly Fishing setup, and I think I'm going to try again this summer.

Very nice, Ray!

As for ice fishing, I've done that a number of times. I bring whiskey to keep me warm but for some reason, keep waking up with my flags up, and bait gone...I don't know

You will love the fly fishing! When I was working, fly tying and fly fishing put my frame of mind at ease! Hiking, camping, and biking did it too! Just the fishing and tying required not to much energy   :whistle:

Bass Pro also has a fly casting class also! Which I didn’t know about so you might want to go there and pick up some pointers... :tu:
