jasonvilly Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 floated the Bow yesterday with my two Aunts from Mackinnon to Caresland. I had a great time, caught a ton of fish.... Up until this point I have only caught smaller fish, mostly ones you can just strip in. There were a couple that got me to my reel but I wasn't able to land them. Then it happened, I saw/felt a hit on my fly in the late evening, set the hook and bang my line was leaving my reel at lightning speed. Up until this point I don't think I have ever saw my backing. Anyways long story short, My aunt coached me and helped me to get my first bigger fish in. Caveat....I know he isn't huge but he was my biggest. I was smiling the entire time, heck I am still smiling right now. I got him into the boat for a quick second for a picture and then released him off back into the blue and our moment together was over. What a fantastic feeling it was...... I am definitely hooked.

fishfreak Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Congrats on your first big fish! The smile says it all. You have some really cool aunts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonvilly Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 Congrats on your first big fish! The smile says it all. You have some really cool aunts! Fishfreak I certainly do.....the fact that they have a drift boat, live 30 minutes away, and love to fish probably won't hurt either. I didn't know them that well until I told them that I began fly fishing, now we have become quite a bit closer in the last couple of weeks.

navigud Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Just think, now you will forever be on the hunt for bigger and bigger fish. When you start phoning in sick from work, then you know you have a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishfreak Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 ... and then you'll start fishing over your lunch hour... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonvilly Posted September 9, 2010 Author Share Posted September 9, 2010 ... and then you'll start fishing over your lunch hour... Hmmm 40 minute lunch, 10 minutes each way to bowness. 20 minutes of fishing, doable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
