Yes it was ABNORMALLY windy yesterday! I went fly fishing as well at an undisclosed location and the wind kept getting worst throughout the day!
Fly fishing is usually not that hard, until that wind came along. I've never had a hard time casting, but I guess it makes it worst when all your casts are headed directly towards the wind. I read the wind report and it only said 6mph, MY BUTT!
If you got fish to rise to your presentations, then you are doing something right! I only got 3 to hand on about 9 takes on the Big D last week using pinched barbs. Landed pretty much everything that I hooked on nymphs, but there's something about a 16" redband coming straight at you creating a pile of line at your feet that takes some getting used to. If you have room in your head for another thing to remember, I offer you (and me) "line management" :lol:
Lets just say i was trying to catch something big in chest deep water with no waders and some shorts lol
Same here, the first time i fish took my fly, i was so suprised i didn't even know what to do...i was practicing casting, and when i raised my rod to do what i think they call a "back cast" at the same time i saw a fish take my fly. So my back cast became my hook set, and it took me by suprise
