Oh I did fly fish years ago. Me, Momma and the kid would head to the Buffalo river every year. We'd fish the White and Buffalo, and play backgammon way to late in the night with another couple that always went with us.
When I decided to reintroduce myself to fly fishing, George was kind enough to give me lots of valuable advice on equipment and technique, but I'm slightly slow but getting there.
Presently, I only fish my lake with a Ray Scott spinning rod and 4 pound line. I actually bought it from Ray at the first Pond Boss conference, and it has served me well. Weightless worms thrown right at the edge of my primrose have put many, many LMB in the ice chest.
I think a lot of people who don't fish ponds, miss the whole dynamic of pace. Running and gunning is the reason I quit tournament fishing. It's just so much more fun to present a lure and enjoy the moment. It's not a race, and it's not a contest. It's about the moment, and that's why fly fishing seems to hold a whole new appeal to me.
