Picked this guy up thos morning off a copper john, that I tied to boot! It just all came together on the stream, as I went into this trip to work on my drifting and depth of fly. I been missing out....

That's a seriously nice fish for your first on a nymph.

Congratulations on a job well done!

Congrats Tyger. You're screwed now because getting back on the water will consume your thoughts! :-D

^ +1. I had a good Memorial Day weekend in NC PA and I am still consumed by the thought of returning before the end of a busy summer...

" Lifted my rod and thought i was snagged, then thought oh dang thats a fish! "

Yeah. That happens to me too... Now I just assume I have a fish instead of a snag.

Just don't get too hooked by nymphing. I rarely fish the surface anymore even if there are risers, just not my thing.

Great job and welcome to tying. It is more addicting than flyfishing after a while. There is no better feeling that catching a trout on a fly you tied or created yourself. keep it up.

Thank you. I think this is why this sport is so alluring to me. All the new achievements you get after putting some time in. First trout, first on dry, streamer, nymphs etc...
