I'm always amazed to hear stories like this. (And I'm not doubting you at all.) Although I really enjoy fly fishing and have done it for at least 30 years, I catch FAR more fish on spinning gear. I've encouraged a lot of people to pick up the fly rod, but they view fly fishing as "a more difficult way to catch fewer fish" (as John Merwin described it.) Until that opinion is disproved, fly anglers will be in the minority.
