Tom on the Fly

Wrong rainbow 😂 a beauty nonetheless 🐟

I hit some important milestones on my final adventure of 2023 🎣

I caught my first (and second) ever coho salmon! Both were wild fish which I was chuffed with. The species list continues to grow 🐟

Not only that, one of the fish fell to a fly that I tied myself! Although just a simple pattern, it was enough to get a fish on the bank and give me a great sense of achievement. I'll be sure to use stronger hooks next time 😅

Here's to an even better 2024 🎉

Sometimes the focus doesn't hit right 😭
