wagdog…NOPE, it is bait fishing with a fly rod[unimpressed] They do make LONG crappie poles. Use whatever you want but if it walks and talks and tastes like a duck, it’s bait fishing.
There is “some” to learn Twins. Some people do make it more difficult than it need be however.
There are only a few flies seriously. A reel with a good drag, a good line, and a proper tapered leader with tippet. I would be happy to show you this. I would also start off with giving you a furled leader which should last a year or so.
Next would be a quick lesson on a roll cast so you can cast with a mountain right behind you. This is a must learn cast at city ponds.
Sometimes, the flies are little but the fish are big, so got to learn to PLAY the fish.
