First time I ever caught something other than a fish on a flyrod.

One of the hazards of fishing the Hex hatch here in the
midwest is that Hexagenia limbata come out at about the
same time of the evening as bats.

Yoo don't want to start your forward cast with a bat on
the end of your fly line. Damn near broke my arm, or seemed
like it anyway. One more good argument for barbless hooks.
