Sipsey Tailrace 03-09-2010


Success at last!!! I have attempted for some time to catch a trout on a fly rod without any luck, and being that I live in the "Heart of Dixie" my trout waters are pretty limited.... Ok, very limited, as in limited to the tailrace below the Lewis Smith Dam. I've had it stuck in my head for some reason that I couldn't really consider myself a "true" fly fisherman until I had fooled one of these multicolored devils with feather and fur flung from the end of a 9 ft. stick. But that thought ended on this day. I managed to trick 10 fish into eating my little copper john nymph.



Hmmm, I don't know if I would consider myself a "fly fisherman" yet.
And yes, I know, I need a new watch band.
