Nice fish and I now that feeling of catching fish on a bait you made yourself. If you want to get into it go to this site.

Gotta tell you ........ that's one of the best stories I have read on this forum. And I've been reading most of them. How fantastic. And with the fly you made!!! I went fly fishing one day in Alaska and after a couple of hours and tens of wind knots the guide I WAS PAYING told me I have no aptitude for the sport and I never did it again. Damn inspiration to try it again. Mega congrats

..way to go Jonathan !!!!!
....a word of warning though .....if you get hooked on this fly fishing deal...
...I'm 67 years old and am able to spends hours on end casting...
...so you should be able to continue doing this for another ...say 50 years at least !!!
Enjoy

congratulations!! I catch about 90% of my peacock and other freshwater fish on my fly rod, I have also been tying my own flies for a few years now and I still have that "moment" whenever I catch a fish on my own fly, even though I do it all the time now lol, I remember my first fish on a fly I made was a largemouth bass, was a nice one too, with practice believe me you will get better, fly fishing truly is a very good way to catch fish, here are some nice minnow patterns I tied up the other night that I plan to use for peacock.
