I have been fly fishing with variable success for a number of years. I taught myself through trial and error. I love it. I have been using my original $40 rod and reel combo for years. It was fine, and I caught fish on it.

But now I have a house with riverfront access. I think I'd be willing to spend a few extra $ and get something a little fancier.

Thoughts?

I've seen people go out and spen tons on the top of the line gear and catch almost nothing. Ive also seen a kid witha stick, string and a hook pull in nice fish. Point being find what works for you and go enjoy fishing.

Recommend you go to Dicks or as Said Cabellas like stores and actually talk to those in the rod reel shop. Go to the Fishing show in Madison Wisconsin area or I'm your city and state.

I have never been to a fishing show. Doesn't that sound like a playground? I must look into that.

LTC Charles T Dalbec - WOW, that sounds like something I would really enjoy. I am in Michigan, though, and I don't think I can make it over there this weekend.

Thanks for giving me the "heads up"!
