I tried doing it one summer a few years ago but never hooked a fish, then had some shoulder problems and couldn't cast my larger fly rods. Now my shoulder is better and I have been working with the heavier rod to get my arm strength back so I can cast for a few hours at a time. Gave it a try today and the stars must have aligned and lady luck must have been smiling because it all came together and worked out. Not a really big fish, 36”, but what a rush!
