After My youngest son had seen my brown photo, he wanted to go fishing . .. We went out and the weather was cool, but nice… We had alot of fun, the pressure was completely off me and I let him fish the down stream end of the boat.. Essentially giving him the most access to the bites.. When the sun went down, and the evening progressed the fish became more aggressive which is usually the case…
Before we left I asked him if he wanted to take a chance on a big brown, and maybe catch none, or do you want to catch some fish.. He said lets catch some fish!..
So off we went…
He was letting his line out and wiggleing it behind the boat, and it took some convinceing to get him to cast.. I had to inform him that swishing sound of the fly was not a good cast, but that the line was not all the way back, and he should wait for his forward movement some.. With that and a few minutes he was casting as well as me… Slapping the water behind which i know is a teckhical error, but that coupeled with a double haul and shooting the line, will give maximum distance with the fewest casts using 300 grain sink tip line and weighted flys..
He really wanted me to use his pole and fish the back of the boat, (downsteam), being certain that it was his stiff number 6 tfo professional that really made the difference..
But my problem was I was in front of the boat, and as the line would swing to the back, the fish could see the boat, or feel turbulance of it and it just isnt as good as in the front.. Hits from the side, would have slack line, and I just didnt have much experience with this type of fising… I didnt care, this was family day, and His fun was my fun… daveThis is a great post.
