This is me in the Beaverkill taking a trout on the beautiful outfit presented to me by Flymph Forum Members. It was one of two fish I took-the first couple in well over a year.

Posts: 540		The fish was taken on a Black Gnat, actually. Looking like this. It might have been taken as a little black caddis which was about at the time:



The rod is perfect for wets.

Posts: 540		Thanks, Everyone. I began a new chemo regimen on June 12. It's kicking my fanny. Side effects are terrible, but trying to counteract them with various medications. Have been doing a lot of sleeping.
