The rod is a PENN believe it or not, and the reel is a pfluger (medallion I think).

I have fished with a spinnig reel for about 20 years, and fly for a couple but not extremely seriously until now. It is a totally different challenge and a totally different satisfaction. Far more satisfying to me than a spinning reel but of course that does not stop me from using the spinning reel.

Looks like you had a fun evening. Someday I'm going to have to try fly fishing. After I get good with the spinning reel. I probably haven't been fishing more than twenty times but I'm having a great time learning.

After work today I heade out to my buddy's pond to try our hand and some of the brim we have caught before. Jimmy just bought him a nice lightweight fly rod combo and this was his first time using it.

I tied on a nice yellowish nymph I has never tried before but was recommended to me by an ole time orvis flyfisher who now lives his fly life vicariously through me since a stroke took away his ability to do what he loves.

My first cast, this happened.
