Members Patricks on the White Posted February 27, 2007 Members Posted February 27, 2007 After flitting from fly to fly my first year here, a friend introduced me to the Danville fly a couple of weeks before the caddis started to emerge last year.What a breakthrough! It did so well that my lady got interested in flyfishing and set aside her bait rig. An early season "freebie" day with John Wilson also helped. Never having been a dope addict, I wasn't familiar with immediate obsession. Did I create a monster or a new flyfishing buddy? The monster demands that my tying increase, that I be willing to be upset twice as much in fixing wind knots, that I remain calm when suddenly the contents of my vest pockets seem to get shuffled around,etc.,etc. The buddy demands I fish more resulting in more fish caught, great picnic lunches and more time spent with my two water dogs. My buddy, because of lipstick and pink headbands, also has the ability to extract certain information from other fishermen onstream that I would never have had access to. All because of the Danville fly. Patrick Brennan

Members Patricks on the White Posted February 27, 2007 Author Members Posted February 27, 2007 Gee Pat, that was a nice thing to say! I for sure do love this sport and hope that this year is only half as good as last. "Being a "Newbie", everyone has been super in trying to help me make the "Switch Over" from my Trusty Spinning Rod, to this Fly Rod that I knew nothing about!!!! LOL Everytime that I go fishing now, it is a new experience and seems as though I cannot learn enough! Thanks to all who helped Addict me and now I have more work to do, MsMidge

Members JimmyT Posted March 2, 2007 Members Posted March 2, 2007 Spoke with Davy Wotton last evening. Grannum were coming off the water from Armstrong hole down through Rim Shoals yesterday. He said they got into some hot and heavey fishing. This hatch should move up the river steadily. I'll let him give his report. Jimmy T. http://flyfisharkansas.com/blog
