Default Got lucky my first time!

Recently purchased a new steelhead fly rod which I was hoping to be able to use this winter for steelhead. Got out Saturday for a few hours and got lucky with this little buck. Not chrome, but I was happy to land a fish on a fly my first time out. I am hooked. Hopefully there will be more to come.

D3 is right, you should quit while you're ahead; your batting avg can only go down from here...
