[quote richyd4u]I believe we have concluded that Fly Fishing takes time to master. [

I'm just trying to tell those people out there that haven't taken up the sport for this reason, or that....that it truly isn't as difficult as it comes across. YOU CAN DO IT!!!
A Sage rod and reel for $200? You got a steal! [laugh]
I'm not saying that you need BAD gear....just that you need....gear. Let's face it, you can make a roll cast with any rod and any line. Sure, you may not be able to make that 60yd dry fly presentation....but, you can roll cast a nymph rig 15 feet upstream and catch fish. Heck, my daughter did it when she was 2! lol! And continues to do it, although better, now that she is 6. [laugh]
FISH ON!!!!

YOU CAN DO IT, but it really does take SOMEONE or SOMETHING to show you how, or YOU just are not going to get it.
I think anyone can do a roll cast and that is the cast I use 98% of the time...but, someone had to show me (MANY YEARS AGO)
Rods, yes my $14. Eagle Claw can roll cast, but it takes far more energy than any other rod I have. Same with that little 6' W.W.Griggs I have. For a little rod, it is a work out!
