And the magazines about fly fishing? Well when put under the microscope, most now are just selling $8k trip to the Yucatán for big Tarpon or donkey riding trip up the sierras chasing the mighty golden trout or a trip to Argentina for the beautiful golden Dorado. And you can’t do all that without your “must have” pair of sandals for the boat deck or the UV protection long sleeve pink shirts…,that last one I kind of dig, lol.
This is unfortunately true. Much of the fly fishing world is all about exotic locations and $1,200 rod combos. This scares people away from what is a really fun and rewarding way to catch bass, bream and crappie. What's really sad is that you can buy excellent fly tackle at very reasonable prices.
