June 19th 2006 Joesph’s flyfishing adventures
Joesph Sr. called to tell me he had a young fisherman who had started flyfishing and wanted to try his skills in the salt water. His name is Joesph Jr. and he ties his own flies.
Well I had Joesph check in with Maggie Gray at Gray’s Tackle to get some insight on flyfishing in our area as well as some of the flies he made need to have that he did not tie himself.
Oh boy did he talk Maggie’s ear off!
The next morning we met at the Big Lagoon Boat Launch and set off to bag a speck and redfish. Joesph started out with a fly he bought from Maggie. He had a few small hits and then decided to change to one of his flies.
Well it did not take long and he was bowed up with his first speck.
What a pose with his first speck! Addictive Fishing you better look out!
Here is Joesph’s mother Cathy with a nice speck of her own.
Of course we could not let dad go home skunked since he was the one who made this adventure possible.
Joesph ending a wonderful fishing adventure with another nice speck on fly. Joesph ended up catching 6 specks on fly!
Our total stringer was 15 specks.
Until our next fishing adventures tight lines!
God Bless
