finally happened....at Muir Lake

[BugChuckingFlies]

Hey all....

As most of you know i brought my first fly rod and set up 7-8 days ago, as i always wanted to try it, and have been fishing every day in Chickakoo lake and Sauer for 3-6 hours every day trying to get my first ever fish.

Well...guess what guys...I decided on a change today. Head to Muir lake, and manage t get on the pier.

Within the first 15 minutes I had missed 3 bites, up until this point i had not had a single bite. i walked of the pier took a moment to compose myself and tried again.

4 hours late I had not only finally bagged my first fish... but 4 of them!!!! I managed in my excitement to get photos of fishes 2,3 and 4, but number 1, well i was so excited i forgot!!

Finally did it!!

Fun times at Muir good job. Some days that Muir can be a mean mistress so keep it up.

[BugChuckingFlies]

Thanks guys.

Before i was getting a little frustrated... Now I am utterly addicted.. Been back from the lake 1.5 hours and all i can think about is getting my housework done so i can get back there when it starts cooling off tonight.


Oh and i didn't mention before. all 4 of them were around the 5 to 6 inches. i know, tiny, but they were amazing looking fish. looked really healthy as well.

Nice fish! Addiction or not, it is a great sport, so enjoy.

[El-Brento]

Right on! Persistence pays off, I suspect you'll be catching a bunch more this summer :-)

[BugChuckingFlies]

Thanks everyone! !

The day just keeps getting better.

So I went out again this evening for an hour.

Just got back.

20 minutes at Muir and caught my 5th rainbow trout.

Then headed to chickakoo lake to see if I could finally get something.

BAM another 6" rainbow.

Yesterday I was still trying for my first ever fish.

Today I ended with 6!!

Can't wait for tomorrow

Right on dude good for you .. wicked hobby to pick up .... hmmm looķs like ya picked a lucky fly this morning ... whicever one that was lol just ..buģgin .. nice fish ..good job

[RavYak]

Yep those lakes were all just fresh stocked so some easy pickings right now. Going to be frustrating going out there and catching little buggers compared to the nice 15-17 inchers I was catching.

[BugChuckingFlies]

I have no issue sharing. My fish over the last few days have been caught on a "Royal Coachmen"

RavYak, I didn't know they were just stocked. As of Friday morning i was still trying to catch my first ever fish. Now I am up to 9 trout. Im having a lot of fun catching those little ones of the top. I am just glad I'm finally catching!

Now you won't be able to stop....
