I've thought about taking the free classes at Bass Pro to learn how to cast and use a fly pole. I would not mind giving it a shot.

I have been fly fishing off and on for the past twenty years. I love to fly fish in Montana with dry flies. The Adams is my favorite fly. I should practice my casting, but I just want to fish!

The best practice for fishing is doing it. Keep fishing. You'll get better.

I fly fish most of the time I'm out. Bluegill mainly. I do it because I don't like rebaiting after the little thieves take the worms off the hook.

I love flyfishing! I probably flyfish 80% of the time when I go out. There are lots of small lakes here in WV that are great for catching bluegills and bass on a flyrod. The Cranberry and Williams rivers are primo trout streams too.

You can get teriffic smallmouth fishing on the New and Greenbrier rivers as well.

I've use the flyrod for Atlantic Salmon in Quebec, and perch in Michigan.

I been fly fishin since before I could ride a bike. From my great grandfather on down(thats far back as I know) my family has always fly fished. I use popping bugs for bass and bream. When cork and hook fishing for crappie I still use my flyrod. This may anger some flyrod purist but its a great rod for cork fishing. I think fly fishing for bass is kinda like bow hunting for deer. Its primitive and the only thing between you and the fish is string. Not some geared winch.
