Finally on The Water With The Hardy Grey Streamflex Fly Rod

I finally got out on the water today, and for an added bonus my Son decided to go with me. We only had a few hours after lunch today on Walker County Lake today so we made the best of it with the fly rods. Two rods were rigged with nymphs and I had my new Hardy Grey Streamflex rigged with a tiny popper. Little did we know that the water was in the low 60s in fact 62 degrees? No one was catching any fish other than a small bass or bluegill. The magic number for results on this lake is 65 and above. I couldn’t believe the ease at which the Streamflex would deliver a fly. The effortlessness of the cast and the distance one can achieve with this fly rod is fantastic. Simply put it is by far the best fly rod I have ever owned. If the generation schedule will work with me a little, I should have a report on its performance for trout Friday.
Not the big bull, I am after but still a gill on the fly rod is always fun. This one fell for the famous Black Gnat
Sorry, I don't have more images, but my son accidentally erased the rest of the images. We ended the trip with 4 bluegills, 3 nice females, and the one bull in the image. I couldn't find my own camera, for this trip, I know none of you guys ever lose something and can't locate it when you really need that particular item.
