Have never been fly fishing, but I've done other type of fishing. Just went yesterday for some trout and caught one. But what I love is fishing for bass. Where I live when they start running all you've gotta do is drop your line over the side of the wharf and you'll get one. They put up a hell of a fight but are fun as hell to reel in. In August the wharf becomes a meet up place, and everyone shares their catches.
