Like a baseball player who steps up to the plate without taking batting practice, the same is true with fly fishing. When you don’t keep the skills up, your timing is off. Don’t fish for six months, step back in the water, and see how it affects you. When I’m fishing a good bit, I find my tightline game is “on-point”. When I haven’t fished for a few months, I feel like it takes a while to get my timing back.
I’m 52, and the above are observations from the past decade or so. Without a doubt as we age we have to keep our fine motor skills sharp through practice and repetition. At the end of the day, all we can do is keep after it and do the best with what we are given. It sure beats the alternative!
