There was an interesting fact that was left out of yesterday's post about my Father's Day fishing report from Watkin's Mill State Park. I left it out because I felt that it was deserving of it's own, dedicated post.
I have been throwing a tandem wooly bugger rig for a few years now. It seems to make more sense to have two flies in the water rather than one. At first, I was apprehensive about throwing two flies because of the tangles I thought that would occur, but even with my average (at best) casting, I really don't end up with many issues.
I feel like there is a natural inclination that comes along with throwing two flies. Who wouldn't want to catch two fish at the same time. Well, until last Sunday, I had never pulled that feat off but I can check that box now.
After getting one fly hit by one fish, I really never felt the second one hit or even notice that I had two fish on at once until I got the fish to the boat that hit the lead fly. I noticed something felt "off" when I tried to pick it up out of the water. It felt heavier that it should have and that's when I looked down and noticed the second fish. This was something that I have always wanted to accomplish and it was just as cool as I thought it would be. It seemed apropos that this occurred on Father's Day. Maybe it was some sort of divine intervention that decided to give me a gift I had always wanted.
