12 year old Mathew Crockett has what ever “it” is. This was his very first fly fishing trip and he cleaned up! Catching 19 fish and most on the dry fly.

It took only an hour of instruction for Mathew to really understand the cast. With simple lesson he got the drift and then he only missed the first few grabs, a couple fish were lost in battle and hard lessons learned but within the first half of the day Mathew turned into a real fly fisherman. Not just a fly fisherman but one that catches fish.

Proud father Doug takes great photos even with tears of pride blurring his vision. With something like fly fishing you really really want your son to understand it so they understand you. Someday Doug he will be taking you fishing.
