This post elicited more negative responses toward the general fly fishing community than I realized � I have more friends in this community than PondBoss - it's a much larger community!
I would suggest anyone wanting to learn to tie fishing knots, go to Google and Youtube for step by step instructions.
Stay off the �snob� sites � most of these guys are fishing with $800.00 fly rods!!!! Don�t get me wrong � I love good equipment � I have 4 Sage rods but built them for 1/4th the MSRP � tied many a fly to trade for components.
Temple Fork Outfitters is a good source for excellent, affordable, high quality, lifetime guarantee � no questions asked fly rods � many of y�all met Brandon Powers of TFO at Arlington PB conferences � Todd Overton is a TFO fishing rod dealer.
If you fish from the bank and can�t fly fish � learn how to side arm roll cast and strip your line into a 5 gal bucket � I could teach you how in 10 minutes!!!!
How long did it take to learn how many fish to stock in your pond and control aquatic vegetation? �.. If you don�t like Orvis, why go there? I don�t either�.
Buy a video � buy stuff from Bass Pro or Cabelas � I do��
Learning new stuff is fun...
I got kicked off a bass forum for suggesting fly-fishing for bass � talk about snobs!!!!
Pardon my rant � how many PondBossers don�t even know how to cast a level wind bait casting reel?
