    Default First one on the spey rod

    Got this 10# hatchery buck today on a blue red and orange tube fly that I added red dumbell eys to. Its really good to have the first one in hand. I have put in more than 100 hours of casting practice and numerous floats trying to get my first fish to the fly. Special thanks to Dillion(Jay) for the coaching.
