What got you hooked?

[katghoti]

I guess it was when I watched a guy on the S. Fork of the Ogden fish behind me in the holes I drug a spinner through and pull out fish. Curious, I approached him and asked about it. I ran home got my fly rod I got 10 years ago, tied on the fly he showed me (Prince Nymph size 14) and proceeded to catch two fish. I was hooked. Now, I tie my own flies and enjoy the satisfaction of catching a fish on something I created. It is more delicate than slinging hardware, less damaging to the fish (you should see what a treblehook does to a fish--OUCH!) and I guess is makes me a better fisherman. Besides, a 14 inch fish on a 3 wt is sure fun!
