Teaching some fly fishing to a high school senior.


We went to the local Delayed Harvest stream. I casually discussed fly fishing, techniques, and the fly fishing culture. He listened and applied what I said and showed him. We started off nymphing and did that all evening. Lots of leaves in the water. The stream was a little up and definitely off colored. 


I taught him to roll cast and told him to stick with it. He did. Got pretty good at it. I tried to not overwhelm him. Also I had the same rig on my rod for demos and visual references.

He caught his first trout on a fly.
