A different type of fishing that has seen rewards been reaped by many. This forum allows us to learn more about Float and Fly fishing from those who have made it their number 1 way to fish.
It was just a little 1 to 2 pounder smallmouth but, hey, its a start. He was caught with a black woolie bugger, 5 wt. line. North Beaver Lake (off 41 Hwy) was the water.
Lesson learned: Always have time for a few casts. I was only there for about 20-30 minutes.
The Dark Side is a little self-deprecating joke we flyfishers use to refer to newbies who discover the joys of fly fishing. It's not so much that we choose fly fishing as it is that we become consumed by it.
Many of us are former "bait fishers" (non-flyfishers) who have all but abandoned all other forms of angling. There's just something about catching fish on the fly that is so much more satisfying that it is by any other method.
Ahhh yes Blakeney..... Lots of Smallies eager to take your fly! Not to mention the occasional eye and pike and BIG fallfish. My personal best fallfish is now ~17".

Man am I jealous. My girlfriend surprised me with a beginner fly rod and fly making set, but yet to catch one on it. Good for you!!
