Fly fishing is taking over

ah my young grasshopper one  does not measure what  most of us fly junkies  consider a  lifelong  journey of learning the such a soul feeding skillfull  and rich historied craft of the pursuit  of the fishes with flies by the # or even species caught.

Thats  like saying the  lift ridin bros outvert/ski you and I know the  bc has inhabbited a part of  your soul

It aint  just about the catchin that's just the bonus for doin shit right and the  positive reinforcement that keeps us casting.and continuing to attempt to master our chosen craft.

it aint so much bout  the destination but the places and people the  journey takes you on and flyfishing  places and the peeps are some of lifes best

Dry flybro pretty  muched nailed it all I can add is line control is everything in fly fishing. Rods and reels are just tools to assist. Line control determines your ability  to cast from big  junk to a tiny #22 midge. It  allows you  to present concotions of  feathur, fur,  foam or whatever materials you can attach to a hook in a manner that may entice your quarry to injest. Line control  then will most  likely deterine whether the  hook gets  set or you can control the fishes given your tippet leader choice that also tends to corespond  with whether a  more edjumacated prey may be enticed to your offering.

Factor  in entamology, the ability to  read water, determine currents, likely fishholding  lies, or  our arch enemy the wind and  you can easily see a  craft/skill that allows for several lifetimes of learning.Get into a  drift boat or flats  boat and it becomes  a team sport as the rower/poler works  to position the boat in a manner condusive to the caster/s makin good presintations.

I'd be amiss if  I didn't tell ya it's the crack cocaine of fishin get hooked and it'll make $$$$ fly out  of the account faster then those tweakers that found your wallet. It'll  make ya forsake a lot of other things and haunt your  dreams kind of like turn earnin does

that being said  always  room in the front of the driftboat or in back w/ kessler

 The cool thing is it can be as diverse and complicated as you desire  from a simple 4 or  5 weight  and  a dozen flies to spey to tenkara you fish on your terms.

you should try and make  it  out  this summer I'll roust upa few  boats and or rafts and we'll get the float on whether or not you catchem is a  mixed bag of skill and blessing

put a team togather and  come out for this

http://www.tu.org/events/2013UTSF

pretty good deal for 2 dinners w/ open bar bfast lunch and a guided day on the river

 write  that shit off  on your taxes

if you consistantly want to catch trout on western rivers specially as a noobs learn how to nymph.

90% of their  diet/feeding occurs under water with very little exertion of energy

You dont need to be  nearly as proficiant at casting,,although being able to water haul and roll cast a  bit will make things easier. Use the river currents and feed line get your flies down in the  strike zone and leve em their that river runs through it false casting and being able to cast is cool and will come in time or with practice, but the ability to visualize where  your nymphs are and should be and how to mend/control the line to make that  happen is clutch if more catching is your goal.

Don't  use grandpas leaders or tippet buy new. the bennies of  flouro out weigh the  extra costs imo check your leader often and retie if nicked or bad casting/wind knots tie good knots is a given.

other than that observe a lot be it clues to, aquatic insect activity, or feeding fish to how others are or aren't gettin em.

Why not pick up a flyrod and get w/ the program?

You don't need no damn 6 hooked rapala to get the bucket mouths

they  eat the flies too
