SKILL FISHING

With everyone drawn to the concrete jungle and becoming part of the rat race; pushing deadlines; rushing from one place to another; committing to one obligation after the other, it is no wonder that we are always stressed. Grab some fly fishing books and then hit the water, problem solved?

Well the actual problem is that we never take out a bit of time to relax and unwind and we don't get to breathe natural, revitalizing air. We no longer have time for our families or for hobbies. At some point one has to sit back and take a look at one's life and realize that now is the best time to take up a hobby.

The problem is where to start - after so many years of no time, how do you find a suitable hobby? Hitting the local library might just be the way to get going. Scoot right on over to the hobby section and take a look around. While you're there, don't over look the fishing books - you will be surprised at what you will find. I might just take up fishing as a hobby - get out into the fresh air and move those old stiff muscles a bit.

My research on angling has been strange as I am not really the kind of guy who gets involved with things like these. Fishing with a fly is a very popular sport these days, that is done recreationally and people also compete professionally.

I believe that the first step is picking up a good fly fishing book. Read it from cover to cover and make sure you take the time to learn the jargon. When I first took up the sport of fly fishing I used to think that IT had a lot of jargon in it but that's nothing compared to fly fishing.

Learn the common casts and what all the different fly types are. Once you have a good understanding of the basics then its time to enroll in a fly casting school. That's right books can tell you how its done, they can even have great illustrations but nothing can replace practice. And with fly fishing you will need a lot of it.
