Hello to all.
 Just started fly fishing, I have some what I would consider reasonable fishing gear.
 I have caught one rainbow trout at Banchory.
I have fished for years, most of that in the USA, but I have to admit that the fly fishing has got me going again after a long lull.
 I am looking forward to what there is in store for me this coming year.

Hi Bryan,

I have caught one rainbow trout at Banchory.

Hopefully the first of many.

Welcome Bryan.

doesnt take much to get "hooked" again does it.....

Congrats on your first Rainbow, many more to come im sure, thing is that even when you have a bad day  and we all have them from time to time, it will still have been a good day  ..

Tight Lines..

I went back today, new reel and line same rod (Abu Garcia, graphite 9Ft 6/7). Not a lot of luck inatialy, but after a kind fellow angler gave me a few tips, I hooked 3 smallish trout, 2 got away (the big ones) and I landed the third,1Lb.
I was told that my rod was too springy and my leader was far to short and my casting needs a bit of practice.
 Soon after ,a new leader and a bit of concentration on the casting, it all started happening, another good day.
 Cold and windy, but thats the fun for me.
Thank you to who ever you are.
