Shes still a bit of a trout/light line novice and hasn't begun to adjust the drag on the fly yet. It wasn't the reel.  The area we were wading also had a lot of structure to get hung up on. 

I'm bringing a bass fishing buddy of mine down with me to fish the Firemens Benefit tourney at Lilleys next week. He is used to heavy tackle fishing so I'll be curious how he adopts and handles using 2# line. I've taken a few of my bassin buddies trout fishing and they struggled. It definitely requires some finesse.

That’s exactly the issue. She’s accustomed to bass and can put a hurting on the crappie but there’s a big curve between 4lb line crappie jigging and 2lb line trout jigging. 

Zebra midge bite 5 ft deep with a float was hot Sunday morning so I handed her the fly rod.  First bite she reacted exactly like a crappie and whip snap! Rerigged, cast and she immediately got hit. Whipped it again and I thought she broke off. She set the rod down and the line started moving. That’s how she landed her first flyrod trout.😂
