Fly Fishing Article - What Fly Fishing Is Really All About...
Mike does a great job of explaining in plain English how to go out and have fun fly fishing regardless of what you catch and who you're fishing with.
I really liked his ideas about how to include your family members and friends...Even those family members and friends who say might not be too interested in fishing...
He tells a great story about his mom and how they shared some special times when she'd take him fly fishing and then go to the flea markets.
Check out his article to get some ideas for increasing your fun and skill as a fly fisherman.

A Bunch of Ways to Increase Your Fun and Skills as Fly Fisher
by Mike Hogue
"Sometimes I wonder if I am any good at fly fishing. I toss my fly in the tree, pick up a snag and break off a particularly interesting fly. I've gotten skunked more times than I can count. I have also slipped on the rocks, broken a few rods and I still have that wonderful spot on my shin when I took a thumping from a hidden boulder the size of a car one night while fishing for browns on the White River. Oh lets not forget the 22 stitches and the scar on my hand from slipping in a gorge one night here on Six Mile Creek. These times often remind me of just how hard it is to learn how to fly fish or even how to get to the point where you don't feel like a complete idiot.
I think there are several things we can do make the sport a lot more enjoyable and just plain fun. The whole point of fly fishing is to relax, pack away some of your troubles for awhile and get lost in the moment. The rush of the water running through my legs, the crash of falls behind me or the shrill of an eagle crying more than makes up for those moments in which we loose our composure and a bit of self esteem."
