Hi Everyone, my name is Mike and after buying fly fishing equipment over the years and never having time to fly fish I have now decided its now or never. That means my children are old enough now for me do what I have wanted to get into for a long time.....Fly Fish.
Caught my first Brown trout this spring....every fish I have caught this spring has been on a fly I ties which is awesome considering I am a brutal beginner tier.
Hope to learn plenty and contribute when I can.

Loving the Fly Fishing.....

Welcome to the Forum! Looking forward to hear (and see) more of your fly fishing trips.

I hope to get my 7 wt out this afternoon to catch some rock bass and sunfish.

Just curious, why would you use a 7wt to catch panfish?

The 7wt is all I have. I keep hinting to my family that I'd really like to get a 4 wt for a birthday/Father's Day/Christmas present but so far no luck.

It's still fun to catch them on the 7wt and as I occasionally tie into a big bass or pike - I'm prepared.
