The fly fishin dude catches fish

Two fly rods was not enough. Thanks to Capt. Barry I had to have a 6.5 ft. 4 wt. ultralite rod and reel. I have really enjoyed that rig. I have fished it at work during my lunch break and at Towne Lake in McKinney with great success. Here's a big ole 3/4 pound gill from the lake at work on a black and white ant that I tied.

Fly Casting Clinic

Some buddies and I are planning a trip to Broken Bow, Oklahoma to do some fly fishing next month. The problem with that was I didn't own a fly rod and if I did I don't know how to cast one anyway. So, I ran out and bought a fly rod. I was so proud. My buddies tell me it's too big for trout fishing. Okay, no problem, I go buy another one that will work at the river. I still don't have a clue how to cast it. That night I'm playing on TFF and find a post about a Fly Casting Clinic in Glenrose. I went to it and boy am I glad I did. They taught an "old dog some new tricks". Here I am learning and having lots of fun doing it.

Welcome to my new blog

With this blog I intend to reflect the concepts of fishing and Fishing for Him. My prayer is that God will be glorified through the posting on this blog.


1 Corinthians 10:31 (New International Version)

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
