Pursuing Your Love for Fly Fishing
September 26, 2007 |
Even for the novice fly fishermen, I included, they sure love great catching of some trophy fish. No more fry please. You always want to land some gargantuan 20-pount rainbow trout that you can surely be proud of.
And how you wish for some great encounter with an aggressive fish, one that simply don’t want to get caught, would not give up and therefore wants to give up a great, but sadly futile, fight just to set itself free.
Normally for some exciting and fruitful fly fishing action, you have to be very adept at it. But then fly fishing is not a skill that you just learn overnight. It is an art that will require you years to work on to be able to master to perfection.
If you do not learn quickly enough as you wish, do not be frustrated. You are like so many others who struggle initially at the sport. Frustration and disappointment and even the desire to give up on it is to be expected. Go on fishing. Have a variety of ways on enjoying it. That’s the way. Enjoy! Do not expect yourself to become like a veteran fisherman in a week or two of fishing.
Just go for some afternoon angling with your buddies, doing it while in some interesting conversation and enjoying chilled beer.
On other times, instead of your friends, you might want to tag along your family and enjoy fishing at some national park. What great bonding apart from the wonderful afternoon of fishing.
Some prefer to fish alone, like I do. I have a favorite spot at the lake, and here is where I position myself over and over again. I like to believe this is my own fishing spot. And have an invisible stamp of my name on the small rock which I used for sitting while waiting for that elusive catch.
To be a master in fly fishing, remember it not only take time, but also it will require you your love and dedication to the sport. On the other hand, you need to accept failure, but never dwell on it. With days and months of constant angling, soon you will see a marked improvement in your proficiency, and who knows – greatness, in this exciting sport.
