I was forced to begin fly fishing over 50 years ago. I fell back in love with it in my 30's and have been passionate about it ever since. I be came a life member of TU so they wouldn't mail things to me so often but they do anyway.
I write short stories about my fishing misadventures.
If you are married and share my belief that you cannot have too many rods, get a VERY OLD rod tube. Bring home all new rods in this tube. When asked, "which rod is that, " you say "the old one." This has served me well with old shotguns.
I have fly fished with my daughter since she was a toddler and now at 14 she still likes to fish with dad. If one generation stops flyfishing, it will disappear.
