Not a huge fish by usual standards, but yeah, for that little creek--a real brute. Looks like I'm heading your way this upcoming week: Nevada/Oregon border looking for Lahontans, Redbands and Bull Trout. Hi Brian!

We both teach a number of people how to flyfish. It amazes me to see how readily people adapt to her right-brained approach as opposed to my tech-adapted approach. (Some would say, "anal." She is much too kind to agree.) In fact, this summer I am setting aside what I know to explore what SHE sees. Why on earth did it take me so long...

This guy who went with us, Ken, was asking questions and putting advice into practice, which makes for a <strong>big </strong>difference from the "teachers" end.

That may have been a big part of my problem when I first learned to fish: making the fly behave like a real fly does. Close quarters is definitely a different way to fish. I need to take a few more pictures of us in the really tight spots--squatted down with face and arms poking through brush and the rod grasped in the middle instead of the cork! WFF,

I "just learned" by going out & doing it with Gramps and his friends at a very young age, and to put it all in words (& directions) was frustrating all around. I'd never even THOUGHT about simple things like stripping in line to control slack... Finally bought Mrs ER some lessons, and that was the way to go.

Beautiful fish, I like the pop up w/subtitle display. Line managment/fly control seemed to come naturally to me, typically though I would have to cast once/twice to figure out the current/situation to make the third cast the right one. I am working on making my first cast the correct one but it takes time to read everything just so. Great post.
