As a newbie to the fly rod I enjoyed the article. Basically I've got a rod, line and a small sampling of flies I bought but really don't know too much about technique, what flies to use etc.
I was trying to catch crappie a week or so ago with a small fly that sinks, I think they call it a nymph with no luck but I'll keep at it.
About all I learned from the experience was that I do enjoy the fly rod and casting side arm is the only way possible to get the line out in wind.........or at least I think that's what I learned. Then again maybe I'm doing everything wrong but it doesn't matter. I had a great deal of fun not catching anything.
