Dubie, your fish fish on a fly rod and you will be hooked like the rest of us. Specially if the are on top and the spin casting people just can't get to them.
Even better is watching them come up and suck your fly in. WAHOO! [/reply]
Dubei... I will have to 100% agree with the Goddess here. Like you I did some plinking with a fly rod I bought several years ago. Last year while on vacation to visit family my brother in law set up one of his fly rigs, gave me a basic lesson in casting, watched me for a bit and helped me with the casting, then handed me a box of poppers and said you got the basics, tie on a popper and have fun.
Long story short, I caght a decent sized Large Mouth Bass that day and a good sized bluegill the next day. To say the least I was hooked that day.
Since then I subscribe to several on line boards like this one... ask lots of questions, made a lot of good friends in a very unique and friendly community, and caught a few fish along the way.
So welcome to the board, welcome to flyfishing, and please dont hesitate to ask a question here. There are lots of good people who will answer your question to your satisfaction based on their experiences.
One last thing to remember. All of us on this board and any other fly fishing board you may find all started out the same way as you are now.. so dont be shy (these ppl wont let you be shy.. that I guarantee...[sly] ).
