Suggestions for a NEW fly fisherman.
Good Morning All- The BUG has bit me to get into fly fishing, and my main mode of access to different water is going to be a kayak!
I'll share a few quick ' reasons why"--- doctor told me a year and a half ago I had diabetes and would learn to live with it--what the good doctor did not realize is that I did not want to hear that--so after a good diet and lifestyle change (no more Crisco!!) -- the diabetes is in check and I haven't taken any medicine for quite a while. It hasn't been easy, but I am WINNING the fight.
With that, my new lifestyle involved working less and playing more (stress reduction)--hence comes the world of flyfishing.
I'll be attending a tying workshop in Baton Rouge soon and meet some of the local guys and gals invovled in flyfishing.
My first step (in my opinion) would be to set up with a decent fly rod / reel to start with and not develop bad habits from the beginning, here is where I need your help...one suggestion I have already is to get a St Croix or Orvis 8'6" 4 wt rod...
All comments and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks-- Scott
