Really? It has been a few years, but back on our first of a total two trips out to UT lake, I hooked up on five. I thought it a rush and blast, but also very easy. Has it changed?[/quote]
Well, I will say this, you present your flies a hell of a lot better than I do, and I could learn a thing or two. The only time I can stick 'em with a fly rod is when they're slurping on the surface and I can sight cast them -- other than that, I can't get them on the fly. (in UL at least) I'm always dragging a bait of some kind in UL while I fly fish, and I've only caught 1 or 2 that way this year. On the other hand, I've caught hundreds of cat fish.
So, I guess everyone's experiences will be different, but I doubt the 18 year old has much of an idea of what's really going on. Or he could be a genius and I'm a bitter old curmudgeon.
