Daryk Campbell Sr Posted April 3, 2022 Posted April 3, 2022 Caught my first fish on one of my own tied flies. Full disclosure, I was using an ultra light spinning rod.

Fun to catch. Tried to retrieve it without the reel. Didn't work very well. It was kind of funny to see I would imagine. Pulling it in, then letting line out to use the reel. Caught this one also. Same wooly bugger. MarkG52, nomolites, JestersHK and 5 others 8 Money is just ink and paper, worthless until it switches hands, and worthless again until the next transaction.

Retriving with line to fight fish. Forget the reel. Strip line in through finger touching reel handle. Let line pile up at your feet and keep feet off the line. If you have a bigger fish running let line slip under finger on run. You are the reel, you are the drag. Reel is for storing line and giant fish . Do you have any Flyfishers in your area for a few lessons? I know of the Ozarks Flyfishers and just learned there is a Christian men flyfishing club up there somewhere. Meetings and outings.
