There is probably a ton of threads on this in the past, but I always love hearing when people got hooked. I was posting in the dumbest fish thread about my first and got to thinking about it.
My first pasted from the other thread:
First fish I ever caught on a fly when I was about 13 was about a 10" bass. I was trying to teach myself to fly cast after reading a magazine about it. I was standing on a rock pile at Lake Thomas Wa, casting to some rising cutthroat, and I snagged a tree behind me. I turned around and started pulling, and the fly came loose and dropped at the water edge in 6" of water and the water splashed. Problem was, my line was still over a tee branch, so I basically hoisted the fish up out of the water so it was dangling about my shoulder level. I was so excited and didn't want to lose it, but I was 20ft away, so I somehow tucked my rod and pulled in tension as I walked towards it keeping it floating up in the air.
