I totally miss fly fishing. As a kid I used to go fish at a local lake for bass and trout. I used to watch this older man fly fish all the time, he always caught plenty of fish. After fishing I would ride my bike over to where he was and just watch him. One day he asked me if I wanted to try it. He taught me the proper way to fly fish, not that J was any good at it. Every time we were both there he made me practice with it. I got pretty good, then he started teaching me how to make flies.
I could go on…. Long story short, we fished together for several years, he made me a fly rod and gave it to me. A few years later he passed away. I still have the rod he made me.
