We launched the kayaks and I worked my way around the left bank with Tina heading right. The lake is a couple hundred yards wide, so we kept one another in sight, without crowding into each others spots.

I pulled up to shore and chatted with he and his wife for thirty minutes. They had kayaks, but were new to kayaking, so I shared some techniques they might find helpful, mainly paddle strokes to make maneuvering their kayaks easier or more efficient. In addition, a friend was supposed to teach them to flycast, but they hadn't made the time. I explained that perfect technical casts were beautiful, took practice, and some skill...

I demonstrated the double haul, which shoots fly line like a rocket, with the flick of the wrist... and takes very little effort. The rod does the work. Pardon the pun, but they were hooked. The fish really weren't biting, I caught a half dozen small panfish on poppers, but I really enjoyed the chat and hooked two new fly fishermen.
