First Bow on a Dry!!

My son, Topwater94, puts me on some fish every now and again. I have been able to catch a few of them on Wooly buggers, and nymphs, but this past Friday, he put me on my first every dry fly bow! What a rush! I wound up catching three, and missing Lord knows how many more, but it was a blast none the less. I think he had tied on a white winged parachute dun for me, I don't remember, but it was still too cool. Here is a pic of a fat old deer hunter reeling in my little 10" bow on a 3wt. We were at Curtis Switch.

I had caughtabout 4 or 5 on nymphs, and then Chase tied on the parachute for me. He told me I would get addicted to the dry flies, and he was right. Like I said in the OP, I only caught 3 on the dry, buy it was almost surreal. Good thing he really likes to FF, cause he will wind up having to take me with him more, whether he likes it or not.:bounce:
