Well I've been fly fishing for a while and asking you all questions as I go. Not only the posts in my threads, but various other threads throughout the database have really helped me along my fly fishing journey. I've gone out a bunch of times. Skunked my first time. Second time I got one chub and one rock bass. The next couple times were a mixture of skunks or one or two chubs. I hit the bluegill pond three times for some renewed spirit and confidence over the course of these. Finally, today, I went out and got my first trout: a rainbow somewhere around 12''.
The glare and the crappy camera phone don't do the fish justice, cause he had some really nice coloring on 'im.
Anyways, I'm totally hooked. I plan on starting tying flies really soon. Damn, this is getting to be an expensive hobby. I wish I had a fly shop close enough that I could just go and buy materials whenever I need them. Anyone willing to help walk a kid through this? I am the future of the sport, after all . I'm gonna get the list of tools recommended in a previous thread about that. After that, I'm clueless.
