How to Start Fly Fishing

So, you want to be a fly fisher? Are you ready to be frustrated from the very moment you start? Are you ready to be challenged, tested, and sometimes even beaten? But are you also ready to rediscover that childhood excitement and fascination with every fish you land? Fly fishing is that sort of journey.

The trouble with fly fishing is that it brings together ridiculous fishing practices with ridiculous tackle. Why it does this is perhaps an accident of fishing history, but what has resulted is a fishing method that captures the imaginations of millions of men and women the world over.
