It is the coolest thing when you tie your own clouser minnows and catch anything with them but you set out for a target fish and were successful in getting some pickerel (aka) slime darts and you did well. It is good to hear that you are teaching your kids to be careful with the fish that you do not want for the table. Safe handling of any fish is a good thing to learn so as the fish can return to the water to fight another day. The fly box looked like you guys have got the nack on making your own offerings. Both the clouser minnows and the wooly buggers look good. Congrats to you all for a job well done
