Its been an ongoing project to get my Dad his first red on fly and though we've come close in the past, it finally happened today. We had a few fish up skinny just cruising around looking for food. Dad's cast was in front of the fish and he let it sit till the fish moved onto it. A couple short strips and the fish blew up on the crab fly and headed out for deep water. After a good run into the backing he finally landed it and I was able to snap a few photos as proof of our mission accomplished. One more species to the list of fish my Dad and I have caught together over the years.

7/23 FL Panhandle
My parents came down from Alabama to visit me for a couple of days and I took them out on the bay first thing this morning.
