Fluke on a fly

I went to the park to mostly practice using my new skagit line and my new ATP 37 fly reel.  I used a # 10 hares ear fly.  I placed my line in the water before making a cast. the line lay in the water for about a minute or two.  I stripped off some more line and began to form a "D" loop.  As I tried to cast, something was preventing the line from coming up.  I thought it might be a small fish.  I attempted to roll cast again.  So I squeezed the lever to pull in my fly line. There was a fish, a crappie on my line with the hares ear in its mouth.  This fish was caught by a fluke, a mistake!
