How to Fly Fish

A River Flows to the Good Life


 

My son taught me how to fly fish. Even though we have totally different philosophies (he is “catch and release,” I am “fish and fry”), the times we can be on a river together are priceless.

Having learned how to fly fish, even though I am still a novice, a sport I grew up with achieved an enjoyable, added dimension. Bait or lure fishing is enjoyable and challenging, but fly fishing brings an esthetic experience to the sport unlike any other type of fishing.

If you learn how to fly fish, you will understand the subtle techniques of casting and fly delivery that make the fish think what you are offering is genuine and natural.

Success at fly fishing is similart to achieving success in many other areas of life. You need to combine technique with patience and rhythm.

Your equipment is equally important. The rod and reel must fit your skill level, your personality and the environment where you are fishing.
