I guess I'll kick the Fly Fishing section off with a post that I put on the old forum about the time we switched over...
I'm prety new to fly fishing, and nave never been any place to REALLY let loose and try it out. Most of my fishin holes are pretty swampy and have little room for a beginner flyfisher. I have been affectionaly calling it my "worlds most expensive cane pole"! Well this morning I got a wild hair and drove up to the Sipsey Fork in north AL to try some trout fishing. I had some wading boots but they were NOWHERE near tall enough! WOW that water is COLD!!! I ended up taking them off and just wading in sandals. It was really clear, you could see trout all over! And they were very skittish! The water in the second pic is about 4ft deep! Anyway. I caught 5 and kept three to eat for dinner. I ended up getting caught up in the game when I got home and never cooked them. Maybe tomorrow night... Might I add, they fight REALLY hard. Like a saltwater fiish and do many acrobatic jumps. It was really a thrill!
