MY wife, Robin and I went camping this past weekend at Pocomoke State Park, Shad Landing. Ok, it wasn't camping. It was RV'ing in our new travel trailer. Anyway that's beside the point.
-- The point is that Robin has never been fly fishing or even shown any interest. We didn't bring our canoe or kayak which turns out to be a good thing. There's a pond at the campground that looked hind of fishy so I decided to throw a few flies. A little while later Robin walks up and says, "So. How does this fly fishing thing work?" My jaw dropped. Then I rigged up the 4wt with a Caddis and showed her the basics of casting. Within 5 minutes she caught the beauty you see below.
Back to the 4wt. I bought it last year for Robin. Actually it was a Homer Simpson gift. Well, now it really is hers.
We fished the pond for a couple of hours. Robin caught 6 Sunfish to my 5. All of hers were bigger.
I guess I know what she's getting for Christmas!
Regards,
Bryan
