I posted the first bass in my "dark side" thread. The other two came on a dry fly this evening.

According to picture number two you went fishing right after work.

Congrats on the catches. I guess the 'force' of the fly is with you.

The remnants of a day's work is on my hand often. Habit. Notepads work too though.

Nicely done! Looks like you are getting the hang of it.

Great job on the catch. If you aren't already tying your own flies, you may want to give that a try.

Let's use that "getting the hang of it" line very loosely....lost 3 flys already.

I'm definitely looking forward to tying. From the looks of things I'm going to have to before I go bankrupt from buying flys.

That is a good thread discussing flies to have in NC. In my opinion wooly bugger grhe and elk hair caddis are the musts to learn and all very easy to tie. A popper and a streamer will broaden your selection as well. I loke spider poppets and circus peanut for streamer type fly.

I'm a Betts tackle kinda fly guy.

You're most likely doing much better than I did when 1st got started. I didn't even call what I was doing fly casting until about a year later.
One of the places I started out fly fishing has a tree that looks like a Christmas tree after losing so many flies on it.

Nice....contagious isn't it.... You never know what will hammer a small fly.

Elk hair caddis in its mouth? one of my go to flies... Congrats!

Addictive is probably a better description. I can't wait to chase something in the rivers with the long rod. Rain isn't helping me though....should return to a manageable flow soon if not already in the smaller waters.....

You got it....I keep needing to treat it with a dry fly spray to keep it afloat after a while. From what I've read that's a normal thing.

EHC is probably one of the best dries to have several of in differant sizes.

I have a craft foam fly that I tie that does very well for bream, and an occasional LMB. I've caught several LMBs with it, up to 4 lbs. Not sure of the cost of me tying, but know it is less than $1, and more like 75 cents and I use a very good hook. The fly is about the size of half the last joint in my little finger, and I use a size 8 hook. I am surprised at the the smaller bream I catch on this fly. The larger ones can get it completely in their mouths, but no so far that I can't get the removed barb hook out easily. It is very easy to tie.
