On the advice of a fellow I know, I went and got me a new fly rod. Nothing spectacular, but a decient beginners rod just the same. Its a Martin 5-6 wt. came ready to fish. hoping to get out and use it soon. Oh yea, I almost forgot, it's an 8' rod.

Sounds like it will be fun
It is fairly easy to learn. I mean I was able to do it fairly quickly. The bluegills love a foam spider. Keeping the little ones off it will really be your only issue. Well that and wanting to tie up some fly you saw on the internet. LOL
I've thought about getting one but know I would have line slung all in the trees or all over me.... :Rofl I'd better stick to pitching and jigging.
I think during the learning process, catching the little ones will keep me going. Knowing at least I can Ketch something, albeit small. Then work up from their to the larger ones. No on the subject of tying flies, that monster has already bit. Thankfully my jig materials can be used to some extent anyway, which lessens the burden on the wallet. In the beginning anyway.

I too practiced in my yard. I am working on my dock shooting skills now. GL Eric.
I am going to get out here shortly. My neighbors on one side, who have 5 kids are moving today, and the neighbor on the other side don't want me over their as she says I might damage her flowers. Trees on that side in my yard prevent me from playing with it there. A couple empty lots ( trailer spaces), down a bit I can let it fly in, as soon as momma goes back to work and I can get me a break from these Spring time honey do's she has going on. I'll have a couple of day's this week, then she's home all next week, before going back out again. Just wish it would quit raining a little bit...Thank you for the encouragement.Quote:

No sir. Since I had surgery on my small intestine and a couple other organs,, I haven't been fishing at all.Quite tired a lot. Dr says need to strengthen my core and I finally got an appt. with physical therapy. Hopefully I'll start getting stronger and can get out some more...
