Went fly fishing on Saturday night,my first time out.My young mate and I decided to target pike mainly because our local pond has a load of them.We used a couple of 7/8 weight rods and two flies I tied myself ,10 minutes into the session the youngster catches a 3lb jack pike and we are chuffed, popped it back and 2 minutes later I was into this lady, took me 10 minutes to land her but what a result!
We are both over the moon and definitely hooked (pardon the pun!).
Sorry about the picture ,I took it with my phone and I can assure you I am not as ugly as this in real life.
Cheers John
