great question fly. I have always used a spin rod but last year i got the itch to try my hand fly fishing. My reason for wanting to try it is for the small streams, were i have fished as long as i could walk with a worm or a spinner and honestly i know i can catch fish and it had more or less lost its challenge so i went and got a fly rod. boy let me tell you its not so simple with it and it frustrates the hell out of me but at the same time its a challenge i enjoy. i also love to tye flys for steelhead fishing and thought i would give it a try tying some of the smaller flies. now i dont catch many fish with my fly rod sense i only fish with a dryfly (i love the strike) but i do enjoy the action and the constant challenge. i have also tried my hand with bass and bluegil. now i still favor my spin rod mainly because of my confidence lvl but i think fly fishing is much more of a challenge and realy an art form.
