Subject: [VFB] heckuva day!!!
Hi all!!! I'll try and keep this
short....i started tying over this past winter....got about 14 or so to my
credit so far. Having a ball with it. Today, i finally got to hit
the White River (VT). I grabbed my 5wgt Orvis and headed. Long
story short...i turned a good smallmouth and a heckuva brown on flies that I
made!!!!!! I only had one of each of my own and both were lost. I
was so excited to finally get on the water, i never checked the leader...New
leader on tomorrow morning because i gotta get the vise set up after dinner
tonite!!!! I had two different patterns going but being ones I made, i
have not put a name on them yet...but i did write down the recipe.
Anyone think my wife would be upset if i named one of the patterns after
her??? It's homemade for me now...the store boughts i had tied on after
i lost mine, didn't do a thing.
Byard..got my membership card today...maybe
that's the reason i did so well today??
