Thanks for the advice!
I guess i just need to get out and do some fishing and also some studying. I knew when i got into fly fishing it would not be as easy as spin fishing, but i had no idea how much science is really behind it all. Maybe i need to stop studying business and go into biology or something where i can understand all the hatches and what exactly the fish and the flies are thinking.
I plan on spending a lot of time on the water this weekend and hopefully that will help me feel more comfortable with all my gear. I took some time and looked up a lot of flies and matched pictures with what i have in my box. I am planning on labeling them in the box and also making some charts to know when to use what flies.
Its nice to have so much help from people on here. I know that some fisherman are so reserved when it comes to sharing advice and "secrets" of the trade. Its not like i am going to go and steal your honey hole and catch a new state record!
Hopefully i can get some pictures of this weekends trip put up and if i am lucky i will have a few fish on my line...worst case i will just catch one on my lucky lure and then grab my fly rod and make a fake memory!
