Fished Taney Yesterday Morning

[Troutgod1]

I fished yesterday morning, early, wasn't doing very well at all, some guy wearing a metal box on his chest was just catching fish after fish.

He could tell, I think I had know idea what I was doing, as he was leaving he asked if I wanted some help, I said yes(he had caught 15 fish

in the last hour, so he tied on a small egg pattern, a # 6 shot just 8" above the fly, he then cut a palsa float in 1/2 and put it about 18" above

my egg pattern, and then he showed me how to fish the pattern, hooking two fish while doing this, and handed me the rod and told me

he had to go to the house, where ever you are kind sir, thank you. I managed to land 4 fish before heading back to our rented combo, and

thank you for telling me about Lilly's Landing, that is where we are staying next time, man right on the water, what could be better.

Anybody know where you can buy a metal chest fly box like this guy was wearing, I think it was green, and it wasn't all that large.

Thank you again for the help.

Great post. When I first started, people helped me out ... gave me flies. So I try to do the same. Glad you hooked some fish!

That is what is so good about the sport of fly fishing, the majority of fly fishers are not only willing to share information, but most times more than willing to share a fly with a stranger!

Now secret spots take a bit more work.....
