Well, in May I took an Introduction to Fly Fishing course with a couple of buddies. I was hooked. It was the best time I had fishing in a long time.
Since that fatefull day, I have dumped the cash, got myself a rod (Okuma Guide Select) and reel (Okuma SLV and spare spool as well) and other sundry items. Went out yesterday to Gull and Shilliday for the first official non-guided day of fly fishing. Took a bit to get into the groove but once there..... The rush came back. I friend of mine told me he once heard that Fly Fishing is like having an heroine addiction except that flyfishing isn't as cheap....
Live in the Parkland and glad for it. I think I will be making the trip to the Ducks on weekly basis from now on.

Well I feel honoured to be PIEd so early in my Fly Fishing life..... And, I apologize about my current logistics and the one hour range to the Ducks or Roblin or...... I will move if it makes people feel better, but probably not right away.

Been a bad week work wise and looks like it is only going to get better.... The hope is Sunday and maybe Tuesday of next week to hit the Ducks again. Looking at East Blue this time and maybe a earlier start on Gull to see what might happen.
