Got out of school at 1 today and decided to hit one of the NYC reservoirs. The fishing was slow but I managed to get a few. One was a little over 2 feet. I saw some huge fish breaking water in the distance. I got my fish on small white bait fish patterns. I saw a guy and he told me he never saw anyone fish there with a fly rod and that I just got "lucky"!!! He told me he caught none.... so on this day I would say that he would have wanted to be more lucky than good. It was nice to fish a different venue today. The strangest thought popped into my head when I was casting into the lake... I am casting my furthest and it really wasn't all that far considering the lake was more than a mile across. I can't wait to go back. I saw some trout that were well in excess of ten pounds breaking the surface.

Here is the fish.
