Was/am so excited and proud of this- I learned how to tie flies about 20 years ago but shortly afterward I joined the military and my tying supplies went into a box. Luckily my mom held onto that box for me and for whatever reason a couple days ago I decided it was time to open it. I tied up a size 8 tungsten bead head woolly, the only pattern I remembered how to tie, and yesterday I caught this brown trout on it in the Poudre river in northern Colorado.

This fish followed it across half the river into the shallow end I was wading in before it finally hit it. Man I’m still high on the excitement! There’s just no feeling quite like it. Cheers
