I came across something on the web today, about people fishing my muddy old prarie rivers and creeks for carp, catfish, bass, pike, pickerel, and everything else I've never even thought of fishing for with a fly rod. I've always equated fly fishing with clear brooks and trout.
So, I figured these guys just might be onto something. I went and got myself a rod, backing, fly line, leaders, assorted premade flies and poppers...I get everything all together and realize I have no clue what I'm doing. I don't know anyone who fly fishes for trout, never mind the warm-water riverfish from around here. Anyone know what I should do from here? Or did I just waste a bunch of money on one of my impulse buys?
