If fishing is a religion, fly fishing is high church.
Fishing the small streams of New Hampshire is a pastime that combines hiking, map reading, and bushwhacking - plenty of it.
I'm a fly fisherman. I make flies. They're imitations of insects at different stages in their development.
The fact is, there's a great deal of hair-splitting fussiness when it comes to fly-fishing, most of it as silly as a top hat.
I also like flyfishing - maybe I would have figured a way to make a living out of that?
I grew up fly fishing when I was a kid. The feeling of it is fun. I went fly-fishing on Lake Delaware once, and I caught a record brook trout.
