So I’ve (33m) been fishing as long as I can remember. I’ve always been a spinning reel guy who prefers lures and could never understand why people fly fished. Well after 15 years of active military service I found that I needed something to help take my mind off of everything as well as keep the ol brain quiet because my normal fishing wasn’t helping as much as it used to. Well my commander suggested fly fishing and I decided to take him up on it. I got all the gear he recommended and he taught me the basics yesterday. Well after about 6 hours of practice I landed this little dinky guy, but I’ll tell ya what…. I haven’t been that excited about a fish since I was a kid. So long story short, I get it yall. When I’m fly fishing I can’t think about anything except the actual task of fly fishing and it’s incredibly relaxing. Definitely going to be how I spend a lot of my free time.
