Fly Fishing

Hi Guys,
Here's a small rainbow I caught last weekend on the Swift River in Ware, Massachusetts. This fish is significant because it's the first fish caught on one of my own flies, it took a #18 black midge that had a red San Juan dropper. The second picture is of the Y Pool which is where I caught the fish, there's tons of fish in the pool, but they see a lot of pressure. The pool is located in a FF only catch and release area.

Congrats on the first "Fly Fish" You will always remember that. The Y pool is not an easy place to get that done

I've learned a ton from that river. On both sides of 9. The y-pool holds fish year long of great size. Thin leaders and tiny flies are usually the trick there. Great looking fish.

What weight FLi? I use a 5 weight 4 piece SLi.
