Flash and Wiggle

I tried the new .4g Daiwa Fly Spoons this afternoon. Can't remember ever fishing with a spoon, much less with a fixed line rod. They work!! Tied on a silver spoon with a no slip loop knot. Cast my TB 40 and proceeded to walk around our local C&R pond. Got a nice 14" rainbow on in about 10 minutes. All that flash and wiggle has got to be pretty hard for any fish to ignore. These tiny spoons definitely earned a spot in my fly box. Thanks Chris!

"Be sure in casting, that your fly fall first into the water, for if the line fall first, it scares or frightens the fish..." -
Col. Robert Venables 1662

As age slows my pace, I will become more like the heron.


Warning:

The hooks are sharp.
The coffee's hot.
The fish are slippery when wet.

Beware of the Dogma
