And I’m hooked! Been out on 2 backpacking trips where I was able to fish high alpine lakes and went to the rivers by town twice between trips to practice. I have been super lucky and have caught a good number of fish – mostly Brooke and some rainbow.
I’m currently using a spinning reel and lures but already know I’m way more interested in fly fishing. I will mostly be doing backcountry / high country lakes and some PNW rivers. Im tenkara curious as a light set up would be ideal.
Is that a good place to start or should I go with a more beginner fly rod set up until I get a little experience? Should I switch sooner than later so I don’t develop casting habits that might be hard to break or is it better to gain more time / knowledge of the environment and fishing basics before I transition?
Thank you!
