Fly Fishing
So I have been considering fly fishing for a while. Kayaking and kayak fishing is one of my newer hobbies but one of my favorite for as long as I can remember is hiking. I like to spend my time hiking along creeks and streams in the mountains and fly fishing would seem to fit in perfectly with that.
Also living in Riverside I can't just pop out to the beach all the time (with gas prices on the rise) but a travel fly rod is something I can throw on my scooter and just pop to the park lake a few miles away and practice my technique there.
However I have just begin to master casting a conventional reel and have never even held a fly rod. For those of you that have what are your feelings on it?
It has only been a fancy of mine but a really good deal has popped up on Craigslist and I figure if I don't enjoy it I can just resell the gear.
Better yet anyone else have fly gear in SoCal and wouldn't mind showing me some loops?
