Why Don't More People Fly Fish?

Larry Myhre, editor of the Sioux City Journal seems to have a pretty good bead on this.

In summary...This is what he said...

Well, there are a number of reasons. For one thing, fly casting is not easy to learn. It takes a lot of practice to learn to cast well, but the good news is it is a lot like learning to ride a bike. Once you've got it, it doesn't go away. Then, there is the initial investment, the knowledge which must be gained, the probable lack of fishing partners, the fact it is difficult to fly fish on windy days, jet skis, waterskiers...I could go on, but you get the picture."...

...While the best way to get started is to be coached by a knowledgeable fly fisherman, few in our area will have that opportunity. There just aren't that many fly fishermen...

I agree with him. Now's a perfect time to get started.

He mentions many more great tips on getting started fly fishing.
