I truly believe that if a man wants to truly go fishing and recieve the full benefit of what fishing is all about, then fly fishing is the way to go! I've done very little fly fishing, but the few times I have I could feel a sense of a certain calm that came over me.
I'm with you on the farm pond TODAY Tim, I'm all over it!...My gear (conventional spinning and casting gear) is in the truck....as soon as I leave work I'm hitting the pond!
