Thread: Thanks to Dixieangler

Thanks for the kind words and glad I was able to help . Fly angling is most definately an ongoing learning experience even for me. I agree, the more you do it, the easier it gets. Practice and patience. I learn new stuff all the time from folks that post on a few boards to back up that foundation I got from my youth and some folks that cared enough to spend some time to show me the ropes when I was a beginner. Oh, and a lot of listening and reading . I always think it best to continue to return the favor whenever I can. All I ask in return is to help some other prospective fly angler who is sincere and honest to learn the ropes.

Contrary to belief maybe, fly angling is not the only kind of fishing I do. Like most everyone else I learned and used conventional tackle first, up until my early 20s before picking up fly angling. I still do use conventional tackle so don't think that fly angling is the only kind of fishing I do. I did have the advantage of growing up in a fishing family (conventional tackle) except for my mother maybe :D. She doesn't like to fish or eat fish. That conventional angling and tackle foundation helped the transition to fly angling and tackle which is just another way of doing the same thing, fishing.
