Re: Maine: My First Striper On The Fly
by AvidDavid on January 03, 2007 | Emilia:
I am sooo jealous! I, too, am the beneficiary of a flies and fins contest, having received a Mach Reel for participation on Flies and Fins South. I spent much of this summer attempting to convert from freshwater nymphing to catching stripers. (perhaps you followed the thread in the salt water forum in which several hard core Striper gurus [mostly from Maine] tried to impart knowledge to me that may help me next summer).
I am really excited that you were successful on your first attempt. "First fish" represent so much to all of us: success, outsmarting the finned creature, getting everything together all at the same time (cast, fly, stripping, fish present). But I believe that it is especially glorious during such a major transition from the subtleties of trout fishing in streams to the different subtleties of catching stripers in the salt. My recent endeavors parallel your's remarkably (except that you caught a striper!)
I hope that I do not appear too sexist in my excitement that you, a woman, posted this fishtale. I am particularly pleased that women are more overtly participating on this site. I believe that the thrill that I seek in my fishing endeavors (All too often it is only the possibility of the thrill that brings me back) is shared by most of us here. My thrills do not require the largest fish or the fastest fish, rather the accomplishment of succeeding, fulfilling my anticipation of finding, hooking and bringing the fish to hand. I believe that you captured this same thrill in your fishtale and video.
I encourage you to continue to help this site become more gender neutral, because, I believe that we all have so much in common! Congratulations and thanks for sharing your joy with us!

by Boz on January 03, 2007 http://www.maineriverguides.com | Nice fish tale babe, and good work on your first Striper! I was just thinking about the first time I took you out by Portland Head Light when the waves were pounding the ledges hard, that was insane. We had tons of fun chasing them all summer together. Next year we'll have to chase Blues and Albies!!!
