I think I get what Tarponjim is saying. The first time I went fly fishing was to the green with my nephew. First, I had a hard time understanding all the different set ups. Having big hands doesn't make tying on flies very easy. Then I was chest deep on the Green with a double nyph set up, an trying to cast into the wind. I was tangled within two casts. The next day I just went in some lower flowing water, put one nymph on an practiced casting an mending. I caught a few fish that day and had a blast. Then I finally read a lot of the basics of set ups and I now understand some of the basics, which allows me to practice and not get frustrated. I am still pretty terrible, but trying to learn more every trip out. I still love spin fishing, especially jigging. I hope to get out with a good instructor this year. I love the Green now, for fishing and camping in general. In fact heading there in two weeks, and again in July and October. I tricked our scouts into going there so I can get some fishing in. Anyway, I think fly fishing has many complicated aspects to it, but keeping it simple at first sure makes things easier. I can't wait to get better and better. Hopefully we will catch a few on the Green when we go.
