Hello all, another newbie here. I choose the name Convert because I'm a former club angler who competed in bass tournaments. Now, I finally put down the flipping stick and I picked up the fly rod.
All told I've been fly fishing 7 times now in my life, and for the most part I still have no idea what I'm doing. However I have been lucky enough to nab a few fishwhom have taken pity on my flegling attempts at casting, retrieving, and fly tying.
I'm living in Alleghany County, but I do all my fishing in Westmoreland. Most of the time, my buddy has me escort him out to the Little Loyalhanna in Ligoneer and I've had some success.
This past Friday, I tried my hand at fly fishing the Turtle Creek. I was pleasently suprised to find my very first Woolley Bugger was such a hit among the rainbow and brown trout population. 5 fish from a creek that I was told trout couldn't survive in made for an unexpected success.
Below is my brownie, the rainbows ended up washed out looking on my cellphone camera. Below that is the woolley I tied. It's size 10 tied with a pinch of flash-a-boo in the tail, white antron for the body, and a nickle beadhead for weight and a defined head.
