.... And then you face your greatest fear --- when you pass to the big river in the sky your wife sells all your fly fishing gear for the money that you TOLD HER you spent on it.  In my book that means your breaking even  I have more $$$ invested in fly gear than 50% of the world makes in a year

It is impossible to overemphasize the importance of getting a lesson. The time and money spent learning proper technique will save you hours of frustration and eliminates the need to unlearn bad habits later. Fly casting is more technique and timing than bait casting or spin casting. It is an issue of when to apply power as opposed to how much power to apply.
If you think fly casting is addictive wait till you start tying your on flies.
The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.
