Ok, I'm not talking about getting laid here, but my very first fly fishing experience.
This happened a few years back. My friend and I visited Pohjois-Suomen Erämessut fair, which is a quite a big fair for fishing, hunting and other outdoor activity stuff, and we both bought fly fishing sets. Those were complete impulse purchases, Vision 3Zone, 9 feet, 5# and reels and lines.
Next day we went to a lake to practice casting. To my surprise casting wasn't all that difficult. A day after that we went to Koitelinkoski in Kiiminkijoki river to try if we could catch something.
Lo and behold, after a while I got a trout! It was my very first time fishing in Kiiminkijoki and my very first time fly fishing anywhere. This guaranteed that I was hooked for fly fishing.
Since then I haven't caught that many trouts from Kiiminkijoki as I usually don't have time to go fishing early on in the summer before summer vacation. During summer vacation (July) I fish in different waters close to Utsjoki where I was raised. After summer vacation usually Kiiminkijoki is so dry and smelly that I don't want to fish there. But anyhow, quite a nice experience for a fly fishing rookie!
