    My Dad taught me when I was a little boy. I'm 65 now and I'm still learning.

    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.
