I have been an avid fisherman since I was 7 years old, starting with baitcasting, then adding spinning in my later teens. I am now almost 64 & just got into flyfishing after the age of 50. I gave away all my baitcasting gear & MAY use spinning gear once or twice a year in the salt or fishing deep for walleye & perch from a boat in Lake Erie. I simply have become addicted to the "non mechanical", artistic beauty & simplicity of fly fishing.
