Default First Fly Caught River Fish

I had this chub today of around 1.5lb. My first river fish caught on the fly.

The swim I caught it from is behind me in this photo, but I had to wade through all this to sneak up behind it. Not so hard, but all I had was wellies.

Well done, you should feel justifiably (sp?) proud.
A nice specimen and "hunted down" on DRY to boot.
