first catch on the fly rod

One morning during Waldo's Spring Fling Waldo took Frank and I over to bass
lake and we had some fun for a couple of hours. You won't be doing much wading
in that lake if you were fishing where we were. The little black and olive
flies I sent you are called Cap Spiders and are tied on 1/124 ounce crappie
jugs so they sink. If the fish do not want to take the flies off the surface,
then try one of the Cap spiders and slowly crawl them along the bottom. They
work pretty good at times. Nothing works great all the time, but I have caught
so many fish on these two kind of flies that they are my "go to" flies. The
only way to get used to hooking them is to keep doing it. That is why is
suggested learning on bluegill...you get more chances in a morning than on
trout in most cases. When I fished bass lake I kept hanging my flies in the
trees on the backcast. I hope you decorated a tree or two while you were there
also. grin.
Keep it up and have fun with this.
