I started out as a kid using my dad's boo and wind-up spring reel with mono line. Nymphing and hoppers only. Decided I liked to try casting and bought a broomstick at wally world. Never took any lessons, just started beating flys off rocks, and sometime in the water *G* I now have two St Croix rods that I use regularly and since started tying my own fly's. What a rush when you catch your first fish on a fly that you tied. HOOKED FOR LIFE.

Best to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
Something I seldom remember to do.
