Well, it finally happened this morning. I caught my first redfish on my fly rod that I've had for over three years, and a slot red at that. I've caught a bunch of fish both fresh and saltwater on the fly rod but never a redfish. But I've really haven't give the "buggy-whip" much attention until recently. One of my goals this year was to become more proficient with fly tackle and catch a redfish on the fly. I've accomplished one of those feats but it's still going to take a lot of practice for me to become skilled at the art of fly-fishing.
First red on the fly...
Well done. Keep fishin' that fly gear. Soon you will refer to the spin rod as "the devil stick".
ReplyDeleteI liked that shrimp fly... who's tie ?
Thanks. The shrimp fly I used is made by East Cut. It's easy to replicate and works well when fish are feeding on shrimp or other small baitfish.
