It's just not for me. I can't seem to do it. I can't cast it. I never catch anything but the bottom and the trees all around me. When my bobber goes under, I can't tell if its a bite or the bottom or a rock or an old shoe. I just jerk on it and I'm snagged. I probably use the wrong flies anyway. I tried those 6-packs from Wal-Mart, but those come apart after every snag. I went to Sportsmans and got the really good "hand-tied" ones, but I do is lose flies I paid $3.00 for, and snap off line and have to keep putting on new leaders. My fly line says floating, but it always sinks when I use an egg sinker. The line always gets loose and tangles itself on my reel too.
I've only caught a couple dozen trout on a fly rod in my life, so I'm getting really jealous of all the people who can just go out to any river and slay 'em all the time, every time. I usually don't even get a bite when I go, and it really sucks when I see everyone else with a fish on. I go to the best places too, like the Provo and Weber. I've even tried way up in the Uintas a couple times. I saw this movie once, called "A River Runs Through It," and it looked like a really cool to catch a fish. I just can't seem to get it.
I really don't care how I catch a fish, or how big the fish is, or how challenging the fish was to catch, or whether or not I see the strike. I just want to catch as many as I can, the easiest way I can. So . . . I'm probably going to just give up on trying to fly fish all together and go back to worms and marshmallows. I hear eggs work good too, and they even make some that people use on fly rods. I probably couldn't catch fish with those either though.
Is there anybody out there who knows how to fish for Walleye?
