Jerry introduced me to Frank and explainedrepparttar problem I was having with a fly rod. Frank said, "Come here and show me what you know about casting." So I dropped a couple of reasonable overhand casts out ontorepparttar 133089 Creek. Frank looked at me, "You know enough about basic casting, what do you do withrepparttar 133090 fly when it is inrepparttar 133091 water?" "Frank, if I knew whatrepparttar 133092 H--- to do withrepparttar 133093 fly in repparttar 133094 water, I would be catching fish!", I said.

"Come on and watch what I do." said Frank. Frank shook out a little line and let it drift downstream. Then he flipped a "Tension" cast back upstream. Onrepparttar 133095 3rd drift, Frank hooked a nice bow right alongrepparttar 133096 bank. He looked at me and said, "Now you do it!" I tried to imitate Frank but no fish.

Finally Frank asked me what I had been fishing. "Eggs onrepparttar 133097 bottom." I replied. "Fishing eggs onrepparttar 133098 bottom isrepparttar 133099 same as fishing nymphs onrepparttar 133100 bottom", said Frank. "You make a little J inrepparttar 133101 line just atrepparttar 133102 water line and watch it as you bouncerepparttar 133103 nymph onrepparttar 133104 bottom. Ifrepparttar 133105 J twitches left or right or hesitates, raiserepparttar 133106 rod tip to setrepparttar 133107 hook. And don't riprepparttar 133108 rod tip up. Remember that hook is only a quarter inch or less long torepparttar 133109 bend. A gentle tipup is all that is needed." Then Frank proceeded to demonstrate with two more fish.

I watched Frank and tried to imitate him with some success. As I remember I caught and released about 6 trout that Saturday. For me that wasrepparttar 133110 best I had ever done with a fly rod. Frank and I fished together for some 5 years before loosing touch with each other.

But I will never forgetrepparttar 133111 gift of a lifetime fly fishing enjoyment you gave me Frank. You were a good teacher and fine friend to waderepparttar 133112 waters with.

Whatever big river you are fishing in Heaven, I hoperepparttar 133113 fish are huge and you are having a ball.
