I had a "cheapo" fly rod combo over 30 years ago. Never got good at it or pursued the sport much. After some time went back to bass fishing.
Well, got a new "cheapo" rod combo for Christmas and going to try to learn it again. It's got a few flies included with it.
Ought to be interesting.
On average, your heart beats 100,000 times a day. One day, one of those heartbeats will be your last. Then what?
The answer is found in Jesus Christ who said "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." John 10:10

Welcome back to the sometimes irritating, often rewarding and always addictive sport of fly fishing.

Happy New years resolution. Good luck second time around. Find someone to help you, don't give up.
Looking forward to hearing a success story.

Ive cast the one Amazon sells, Wild water 5/6 weight. I thought it was A okay.
My first fly rod was a combination bought off STP. Rod was nice, reel was strictly a freshwater reel, and the fly line complete junk. Line is easy enough to replace.
