fly fishing
did a bit of fly fishing earlier in june, before the water warmed up too much. landed a few nice rainbows, including a hefty fat 22 incher (i think she might be a friend of fast eddie's hahaha) I did also loose a few fish, including a pure silver beast, that dwarfed the 22" that i caught! It rocketed out of the water about 2-3 ft multiple times so i got a very good look at it. broke me off after a few runs into a log jam and had me contemplating snapping the stupid noodle fly rod over my knee haha... i know i could've landed that monster on spinning ultra light gear, but oh well... maybe i'll see this NJ steelhead again in the fall.

Re: fly fishing
the smaller the hook, the more impressive the fish... this is fly fishing rule number 1. I try to go no bigger than a size 57 for the brown lint ball fly.
