Flyfishing is not complicated, only fly fishermen make it so because they can. However, it's very simple, more so than most other types of fishing except for maybe drowning bait.
Can't agree with this at all. The problem is, people THINK it is easy and get frustrated and go back to bait or spin, because it isn't...EASY
I can't believe you said that TJ.
I have been fly fishing all my life with an occasional spinning in there in the past. For the past 30+ years I have been total fly.
I fly fish cause I can achieve more and I am good at it, but, it didn't come easy or overnite, and it can be most complicated. Roll casting, side arm casting, casting into the wind, around a bush, hit the same spot time after time........etc. That is FLY FISHING, if you can't get that then you flog the fly out there and catch a fish now and then but prefer your spinning outfit.
If you learn all that FF has to offer, I bet you never touch any other kind of fishing equipment.
It is you, the LINE, the fly, the rod and the reel. The line is what is going to deliver.
