Thread: Trout Fishing: FREE Flys for Juniors

@VXN222 my eldest (8yro) would love a few flys to start his own box, caught his 1st on the fly in feb with more luck than judgement as I’m a self taught fluff chucker myself who spends more time hooked up on my back cast than anything and especially when I sight a feeding fish it seems. but we do get the odd success for our persistence or by reverting back to the lure gear.
Here’s his fish.

Awesome mate! Good on ya for sticking at it! Took me years to get the first on fly. The best I learnt was getting that session with the old boy. He taught me how to read the river and understand where the fish should be. From this I basically moved from fishing unsuccessfully blind to sight fishing (or casting in the likely spots with an indicator) The next challenge.. not spooking the bloody buggers. From here came success in various forms. Highly recommended walking and spotting fish even if the river is closed etc in off season. Save the lure fishing for the windy rubbish days!! We”lol sort something for the young fella!
