JC's article on being new brought back some fond memories of when I first started to fly fish. Some of the most memorable moments were from my first couple of years of fly fishing. The one main thing they all have in common is that I figured things out on my own. When I failed it just made me think more and I liked that. I liked the questions I didn't have the answers to and finding the answers on my own was what I learned to love about fly fishing. So if your new don't be discouraged by any of your questions or lack of success, enjoy it.
