There is a story about a fly fisherman who was fishing in a large, deep lake. He was using a special type of fly lure. After a while, he felt a strong tug on his line. He thought it was a large fish, but as he reeled it in, he found it was actually two medium - sized fish that had both bitten the lure at the same time.

Well, I heard about a guy who went fly fishing in a small stream. He waded in a bit too far and slipped on a mossy rock. As he was falling, his fishing rod went flying and landed in the middle of the stream. But luckily, it got stuck between two rocks. When he finally retrieved it, he still managed to catch a couple of fish that day.
