"But, if you expand your interests, you can rather easily talk yourself into new goodies. Rods, reels for them, spare spools for your new lines and more fly boxes for all of the new flies you will start tying.

The only way out is to stay home. Never go anywhere ever again and for sure never take a casting lesson or talk to any other fly fishers."

Sounds boring, though.
My first rod was a dog. Upgraded after about a dozen casts.
