[Bdub]

Im getting into it also, made some trips but haven't dedicated one to catching yet just bring the fly rod along sometimes. Was actually gonna start a thread to see if anyone here fly fishes and wants to get together sometime.

Fly fishing trout is a tough go of it unless you get everyone onboard doing it with the same fervor. It can be very disheartening to put the rod down on a good artificial bite and then not have that immediate success with the fly while you find the bait and/or rhythm. If you've got a partner then dodging backcast and still ripping them is a test to dedication.

That said, when you get on a good school in range you can absolutely blister the fish. Imagine missing a fish and immediately pulling the bait up, maybe one false cast and back into the school, where another strike is waiting. Talk about good times!
