I can relate to this, a friend of my grandfather taught me to fly fish for Crappies on little streams in Northern Virginia, but I caught more trees and bushes along the banks then fish. I haven't touched a fly rod for 30 years, but I plan on getting back into it this summer. My current plan is to take some lessons this spring and hope that I can try some equipment before buying it.
