Thanks everyone,

Though not a monster it was a good fish on the fly rod. I have caught bigger before but this one was special. I have fished the Derby 17 different years going back to when I was a kid. Last year I placed on the fly rod with a second place rat blue. This year the fishing was tough from shore and it took a lot of long nights to find that fish (thanks for the company beetle & John R). I always say that anyone can catch fish that are in front of them but true fishermen can find fish and this year that is what I did. very satisfying .
