Re: First Red.
On this day, I was using my friend's GLX with a Wulff Triangle fly line, all in 8 weight The going fly for us was a #6 Green/white clouser. I left my rig at the house; line was dead, time to change.
After we caught a couple of fish, we celebrated with a gurkha and a margarita. Then, this small red showed up and that I casted to.

Re: First Red.
Congrats on your success! I'm jealous as I'm still waiting for mine. I fished for 2 days but weird weather and muddy flows for flooding upstream/MS river made for bad fishing for everyone in Grand Isle, LA. I did get to taste a bull red harvested by Jim in our group using "...commie tackle..."(aka spinning,non-flytackle). Best fish I've had in a while. So should I bring a Maduro for luck?

Re: First Red.
The first day we fished, we couldn't buy a strike. The reds were everywhere but nothing was hitting. It was busy with a lot of boats on the water, including a full moon. The second day was totally different. I busted off twice, on huge fish before I put a fresh leader/tippet on. My friend said it has been awhile since he has seen so many fish, so active.
A maduro in a churchill would do nicely.
