First Time out with Soyokaze 20SR

My son and I walked down to the local park to check out a small creek. We caught lots of fish. I broke off two! I have the shortest rod, and I can see the advantage of a longer rod. The water was very clear, and I was scaring a lot of the fish.

“The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten” - Benjamin Franklin

"Be sure in casting, that your fly fall first into the water, for if the line fall first, it scares or frightens the fish..." -
Col. Robert Venables 1662

As age slows my pace, I will become more like the heron.
