First Fish on a Dry Fly I Tied!

[BelAirSteve]

It was a good weekend indeed. Got to spend the day with my brother on Big Fishing Creek, and caught my first fish on a dry fly I tied myself. Here's the best part...my brother caught it on video!

Wild Brookie on Grannom - Big Fishing Creek

It was a size 14 grannom patter I tied last week. Dark hare's mask dubbed body, dark CDC underwing, dark deer hair wing.

Yep...I'm in deep now. Most of my free time is spent tying. Could be worse, right?

Ol' Doc tells Festus that this sounds like a serious case.

Awesome! Just wait til you cant leave a fly shop without a handful of feathers/materials

That's why I take the ol' girl with me each time I visit a fly shop. Helps keep me under control
