ahh bummer, I can see were the challenge can be a great reward!

Quite a bit of work with no water around at least you enjoyed it!

Roger that, I have been talking to the locals at the holes lately to figure some more stuff out. Planning a trip to a tackle shop a little ways away, I will talk to them about some things and see what books they have etc.

Interesting background Im just starting out spin casting right now and noticing the joys of loosing every single lure in my box! Very fustrating. Obviously making your own flys and lures can cost $ out of the gate, but overall saving money, something that interests me after going to the store, buying lures etc and loosing everything. No fun! Im also so green that its tricky for me to figure out what the fish are biting on in the rivers right now, still learning. I watched a guy today snag about 12 salmon in the rivers, doesnt really look like much fun, throw a big buzz bomb on, cast, sink set hard and hope a fish is in the way. hmm anyways, i am going to look for a fly rod in the next few days i think and try to get into it there. I guess time is the big thing to figure out how and were to fish and what to use

Hey all, Just woundering how many people here started fly tying because it looked like a fun hobby. Im just getting back into fishing and my knowledge of fishing is basically zero. Ive also only used a fly rod once. I am going to start making my own tackle for my spin caster as i cant spend so much on store bought and loose it! fly tying looks interesting although i have no clue how to fly fish or how to make certain flys for each fish etc etc. Has anyone taken up fly tying just for fun basically. Maybe let your friends try the flys to see how effective they are and maybe move into learning how to fly fish down the road? Cheers, Chris,
