tarponjim proves that fly fishing isn't for everyone. That's a good thing, btw.
Fly fishing isn't easy. Therefore it isn't for those who want to fish easy. Again, that's a good thing. Streams are less crowded for those who take the time and make the effort to master (or at least have some competence at) fly fishing.
It isn't an "elite" fishing method, even if there are legions of fly fishermen who act as though it is. It's just a different method. It's akin to hunting with a single-shot rifle or a recurve bow: harder by choice of the sportsman.
By choice being the key. And that is definitely a good thing.
