Things Ive learned (New fly fisherman)

[Climber2k]

1 : Bushes + wind + newbie caster = 20 mins of hilarity as I either recatch trees or pull all the line out.
2 : Do not walk from one spot to another holding the fly. You will step on the leader and impale yourself.
3A : Bring a camera. When you finally pull in a decent fish (not one of 2, 4inch perch) you might want to capture the moment.
3B : Corollary : When you go to get close to said fish keep the line tight so it
doesn't spit the hook anyways.
4 : Watching really big fish go by,(out of season pike probably), is tremendously annoying.
5 : It is still better than being stuck in the house!!

good tread.

your number one happen to me this morning.even if i am not a newby caster..wind got to me a bit. and went a bit to far back.

i went for a little fly fishing in kayak for a bit.this morning .nothing just a follow smal brook trout follow to the yak and turn around. ...but later i deside to hit a small creek by foot..and fly fish a bit... ..lost 2 flies in trees. . ho well.

will need to practice a few deferent casting style now...should have done some roll etc..but i did not and pay for it.

good heads up in your tread.
