[signature] Re: [HFT] How long Have you Fly fished - icthys - 02-08-2006 21 years for me, started at 8 yrs old. [signature] Re: [icthys] How long Have you Fly fished - Curtis_L - 02-10-2006 About 8 years on the fly but was tagging along behind my dad at Greys River when I was three. [signature] Re: [Curtis_L] How long Have you Fly fished - fishman - 02-10-2006 I would have to say 6+ years and have absolutely loved every moment of it. [signature] Re: [fishman] How long Have you Fly fished - bioman - 02-10-2006 I've owned a fly rod and reel for several years. I tried to teach myself by reading books and visiting the local rivers. I even caught one fish one time! I'm not a flyfisher, but I am taking the fly fishing class at Davis High and that will make all the difference in the world.

Teaching you self to fly fish Is frustrating but possible Trent [signature] Re: [maddawg] How long Have you Fly fished - lunkerhunter2 - 02-14-2006 I pretty much taught myself to fly fish and i can hang with some tough customers. lol You just need the right start and a willing desire. 6 years [signature] Re: [lunkerhunter2] How long Have you Fly fished - catchandrelease - 02-14-2006 I picked up fly fishing when I was 12. I bought a cheap junker rod and loved the idea that I could watch fish hit my fly. Of course it didn't happen very often. I then learned to tie flies. After that it was downhill. I got a floattube and it became an addiction. So it's been 13 years of bliss. Each year I learn something new and try new things for different fish. Last year it was wipers on the fly. Carp have been a riot....but a big brown on a streamer would hook anyone. Fly fishing is next to a religious experience. Ahhhh!

Also taught myself how to tie flys in the last year and a bit. Catching majority of my fish on my own ties. [signature] Re: [HFT] How long Have you Fly fished - Everet14 - 03-28-2006 I am 16 years old and I started fly fishing whn I was 4-5 and started tying flies at 6-7. Fly Fishing for Trout is what I really love, I am growing up with The Henrys Fork less than ten minutes from my house, and boy oh boy is it sweet. I try to make it out 2-3 or more times a week andso far it is going great! [signature] Re: [HFT] How long Have you Fly fished - HogOn - 04-05-2006 I've been out on a river tossing a fly with my father since I was 6 years old, so about 22 years ago. I've been fly fishing seriously for the last 6 years now. [signature] Re: [HogOn] How long Have you Fly fished - hpb - 04-26-2006 25 plus. [signature] Re: [hpb] How long Have you Fly fished - Troll - 07-23-2006 Started at 8 with a bamboo rod saved from the trash. A level floating line and a handful of wet flies. Then the Herters catalog was my bible. The picture plates of flies are what I tried to imitate as I tied. At the age of 23 I started guiding and teaching for Orvis in Manchester and later for the Orvis shop in Lake Placid I did that for about 12 years. Now I flyfish about 30% of the time, troll and cast the rest of the time. I fish Salt, shallow and deep, streams, lakes and rivers with a fly.
