Was lucky enough to get some fly gear for the holidays. In classic fashion I spent a few hours on YouTube and hit the water. Prior to this trip, I had never casted a fly rod, rigged my flies, or done literally anything fly fishing related lol.
While I did not land my target species (rainbow trout), I was really excited to have triggered a strike and get something in the net.
Tomorrow, I am heading back to the same river but in a more trout-dense area that I am familiar with. I will also have my buddy with me who has been fly fishing for a couple years now.
Hopefully, in about 24 hours I will be gracing the feed with a picture of my first trout caught via fly!

Congratulations, man! Nice little fish. That first one is enough to convert you to a fly rod permanently. Enjoy it and good luck with the rainbows!
