Just Started Fly Fishing

[Hewhofish]

hey if your just beginning and are just wanting to get some good experience, go to wal mart and buy either some of the little spider flies of some bluegill poppers. Go find a small farm pond close to you and you can absolutely crush bluegill, i caught 80 in about 3 hours the other day, you can have a ball.

If you are ever in the TN area, I would suggest going to a little hole in the wall community called Buck Snort. There is a gentleman there who has a stream running through his property that he has stocked with Rainbow, Brown, and Steelhead. He charges $25 an hour to fish and it is catch and release only. Expensive, I know, but when you are a beginner like me and on your first fly fishing trip you hook into a 12 pound steelhead or 5lb rainbow - it hooks you to flyfishing for life. He's just finished some cancer treatment, but if he is feeling up to it, he will definately work on casting with you.

I am not a very good caster, but I got the basics from watching A River Runs through It - I would rewind the part where the dad is teaching the boys how to cast over and over, or you can get casting DVDs at Wal-Mart

pastorbass, what large town is buck snort near? my wife has just taken up fly fishing and i would gladly pay 25 to watch her fight a steely or large rainbow. so far we have done most of our trout fishing on the cumberland below wolf creek dam and it has never been disappointing. just ain't no steelies. thanks for the info.

We took the Interstate through Nashville towards Memphis I think.
If you will send me an email at [email protected] I will get you the guys name, number, and directions to his house. I have been once, and it was awesome.
