I flyfish

if you really enjoy fishing a lot its great. I just started last summer.

if you know you're around steelhead/brook/ other trout have at it. the fights are amazing when you get one.

The hardest part for me, was hooking the fish with the fly :evil:

Funnest fight when you get them though.

Im not really that interested in flyfishing for Trout as much as i am, other things.
Ive never been that much of a trout fisherman.
Dont like the way they tatse either.

Canceled,

If you're interested in messing around with fly-fishing, then get ready to spend some money! lol I've been fly-fishing for 10 years and love it way more than any other style of fishing. For me, being on a river, with water flowing past, and the fish and wildlife, is really relaxing.

What you're fishing for will dictate what you buy; but for panfish, and trout I suggest a St. Croix 4 wt 7 ft rod. I've owned two, and they are a fantastic deal for the buck.

Its like growing man; once you get into it you cant stop. I have vests, waders, lots of rods, I've made my own rods, and what I used to love was tying my own flies. Try it sometime, its hella addicting coming up with you're own patters!

PS Saltwater fly-fishing for bonefish is the most stress i've ever felt. Its intense. I suggest trying it.
