Well I've come to the conclusion that if I don't start reaching out for help I'll just continue to suck at what I love to do. I've been flicking fur, feathers, and foam for about three years now, targeting mostly largemouth bass and whatever else tends to stumble across and accidentally get hooked by whatever it is I'm throwing. I feel a little out of place but always seem to draw a crowd when I whoop out the old 9' 8wt. I mostly get comments like "goin craaapie feesh'n is ya" until I show them 5-8 lbs. 20" fish I've so braggishly saved on my stupid smart phone (by the way I'm still trying to figure this thing out).
I've come to a point in fly fishing to where I have no confidence in what I tie or throw. The problem here locally is that I know no one that fly fishes and trying to find some mentorship is like trying to find an honest politician. They near about don't exist. I seen a post with a dude from Auburn, Al. and another one from "South" AL. Glad to see someone else that fly fishes in the state of Alabama.
