This young angler learned to do a few things with his fly rod that led to this awesome fish. He casted without depending on his wrist, he mended to the fly, he managed his slack, he set the hook on time, then he let the fish run when it needed
I shared an apple this girl in Melrose, Montana. That evening the sunset was so amazing. It’s no wonder we love to fish here so much. It also helps that the fishing is pretty good too!
