My first trout on a Hares Ear wet.



My second "catch" - some sort of minnow/chub



The River



More River



The road to Paradise



All told I caught 5 this AM, lost another 5, and had quite a few more hits - all by 10:30. I learned a bunch - not the least of which is to learn a better knot. I lost 3 of my 5 fishies when the fly came untied or knot broke. I also discovered a 9 ft rod doesn't mesh well with overhanging trees. I did figure out a nifty sidearm cast that put the fly perpendicular to the bank, with a downstream belly. Started catching trout in that spot after I figured that little trick. All told, very enjoyable. I have a few days scheduled next week - some of it will be on the 'Crick.
