Dad: Enough said
My Dad taught me when I was a little boy. I'm 65 now and I'm still learning.
Born and raised on the famous White River!!! Was and still is my backyard!! We fished for Bream and still do with a fly/rod, popping bug/bream killer!! The Trout came next!! Made our own popping bugs/bream killer's!!!Attachment 149921Attachment 149922!!!
Raised up fly fishing for perch, bait for flathead catfish!! I still really enjoy fly fishing for perch.
My Dad taught me when I was 14, Im 45 now and I still have that fly rod and still bring it out quite a bit.
My dad and uncle. We fished for trout exclusively back then. Still fly fish my favorite past time.
still trying to learn. but self taught
Never taken a lesson, never shown how to improve from anyone, so I guess I'm self taught. Cheap solid glass rod, martin copy reel, level line and a piece of 10lb for leader. Learned the most standing in a canoe in grass ponds near where I lived 30 years ago using poppin bugs bought for $2 a card. A 5 and a half lb LMB is my biggest to date, and don't do it as much as I should as it's very satisfying. Little in life is better than a busy morning with a buggy whip in your hand and cooperative oversize copperhead gills. I now have an 8' 4wt Pfleuger that is a pleasure to have in your hand, and an 8' 7wt Browning Silaflex that belonged to my Dad, heavy as a brick. Tie some of my own that show how much I don't know but still land a fish now and then.
Still learning. Seems like a never ending process.
Went to my pond yesterday that got dug out a couple of years ago and stocked with copper nose bluegill and some green sunfish that showed up from who knows where.
Caught a lot of dinks and a couple 1/2 pounders.
