funny you say that cause the other day i wasn't having any luck fly fishing (its not easy) and i switched and hooked up the bober and worm combo and caught 3 trout in 20 mins.

Caught a little cutty this morning at the lake..pretty stoked with this whole flyfishing thing, he was about 8 inches..had the drag backed right off and he screamed the line out..caught him right in the corner of the mouth.. with the royal coachman... C&R right from my mesh net, goodtimes, cant wait to catch a bigger one...
