| Well I thought I'd hit one of my favorite spots today but with the fly rod only. I took out my latest shrimp fly (I posted a link to it then Vlap posted the photo) and started working the flats. Within 5 minutes I had a small red and not long after that I had another. It went quiet for a long time so I hit my trout hole to see if I could scare up a few small trout for fun. Same fly, 8:00am (or close to that time) I start catching trout. I end up trashing the fly and landing 6-8 small trout and a few lady fish. I called it quits and was back at the house by 10:00am.
Fun day and now I have a reason to tie more shrimp.

| Sounds like a good day to me. It beats what I did this morning...woke up with a hang over!  Now off to the movies. We need to hook up so you can teach me a thing or two.

| Nice day, beats my fly experience yesterday. Only one rock bass, and to top that, somehow my fly fley over the side the boat while I was running and I got some of my fly linechopped off in the motor.

| Mark, you know how it is fishing by yourself, all the photos are of a fish on the floor of the boat and they all look the same. I do carry a 35mm waterproof camera with me but I am always trying to tag the fish, measure it, weigh it and get it back in the water in the shortest amount of time so I tend to only photo the big ones, unusual catches and the ones that made me work for the catch. I should take the camera down and just get it developed. Its always a surprise when I do get it developed because I forget about some of the ones I have taken pictures of.
DOA sorry about the flyline loss. I know $50-75 worth of line wrapped around a prop must have been a terrible sight (it was flyline right?).

| Yep it was flyline. I do not think I lost alot so I am going to try to fish with it and see what happens. I now have to tie another leader to fly line knot though. I like putting a foot or two of something heavy and long lasting like a 40lb mono or fluro leader on the end of my fly line with a loop on it so that I can replace leader after leader easily. I have used an albright but I like the looks of a nail knot better. Can somone post a thread here about how to tie a nail knot?
