I just bought my first fly rod a little over a week ago, and am hooked. I am a 47 year old mail and have been fishing with conventional gear for at least 40 of those years.

What I mean by conventional gear is spin casting, spinning and bait casting. I enjoy using this gear but the fly rod has already found a high ranking in my gear, and I have only caught a few very small bluegill with it so far. I am still not casting very well but it is getting better every time out.

I am from Northwest Indiana and have few spots to fly fish for Trout but hopefully by the time the trout and salmon start running up the rivers my casting will have improved enough to go after them. Until then I am going to continue chasing the bluegill, bass, and work on my casting skills.

Wish me lick.

Tight Lines,
