Hey guys!
I am brand spankin new to fly fishing. I do quite a bit of ice fishing but my father sent me his old fly rod he used 30+ yrs ago. Its a 7wt fenwick. Feels like a nice little rod. I just bought a little reel for it as the reel he sent was 30+ yrs old too (pfleugar medalist).
What I was wondering was....are there some easy access areas that don't have a lot of trees or other junk that tend to catch your flies. I tried hitting up the Ogden River by the alaskan inn but I have to tell you I got so stinkin frustrated tying on new flys every few casts I ran out of flys. And on top of that never got a bite, but I do know now that I need to stock waaaaaay up on flys haha.
I've practiced in an open field, but was hopin to find some small spots anywhere from downtown ogden up to causey as well as the weber. I figure if I'm going to practice I may as well have a chance to catch more that a blade of grass or a dog turd.
Thank you in advance for any info on where a newbie can get out and maybe catch a fish or just not lose 25 bucks in flys in a few hours even.
