I'll share a few quick ' reasons why"--- doctor told me a year and a half ago I had diabetes and would learn to live with it--what the good doctor did not realize is that I did not want to hear that--so after a good diet and lifestyle change (no more Crisco!!) -- the diabetes is in check and I haven't taken any medicine for quite a while. It hasn't been easy, but I am WINNING the fight.
With that, my new lifestyle involved working less and playing more (stress reduction)--hence comes the world of flyfishing.
I'll be attending a tying workshop in Baton Rouge soon and meet some of the local guys and gals invovled in flyfishing.
My first step (in my opinion) would be to set up with a decent fly rod / reel to start with and not develop bad habits from the beginning, here is where I need your help...one suggestion I have already is to get a St Croix or Orvis 8'6" 4 wt rod...
All comments and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks-- Scott
I don't see how you can wrong with TFO fly rods. The price is right and the rods perfrom as well as those three times the price.
Also, for fly fishing, you can't beat Native Watercraft's Ultimate 14.5. Great fly fishing boat and you can stand up in it.
