Lets talk about fishing

[WolfyOne]

Every time I say I want to go fishing, the weather gets bad....

.....thinking I should just be silent and let it happen when it happens

I was all set to go. Then threw my back out. Now i have to wait.

wolfy the best fishing IMO is in the rain or just after a big rain. I have been known to fish in my kayak in the rain but dont do this is its lightening! lol

I started fly fishing early last year, but wouldn't say I'm good at it. I want to learn more. I like fly fishing from my kayak too.

I'm not sure how flying fishing from a kayak would be since you need that full body action. In my kayak tho I can pretty much drop my line wherever I want it.

There was a resort not far from me that offers lessons but the whole course was really expensive. I think a nice group, a few coolers and tents then someone willing to teach us.

I would definitely be up for something like that! If we could get an idea of who is seriously interested and general locations of everyone, we could organize it and pick a centrally located spot.

Our season opens here on Thursday the 1st of April, people are already started arriving and setting up camps. I will be there with a rod in the water. *grins*

Im interested but need to plan. I was actually thinking of going up around the finger lakes, upstate NY, which isnt close but I have been wanting to fish there a long time. I use to live in the Adirondacks, in a village by lake george. There were amazing streams and plenty of trout but no one to show me. Now I did catch a big ass lake trout as long as my forearm but thats not the same.

In the southern tier of NY there are tons of waterfalls, streams, camping, you name it. To be honest if it was so cold so long I,d move backl to NYS in a heartbeat,

I would be up for it too. If anyone wants to plan something up this way (upstate NY - Finger Lakes region)... .just let Me know. There is some awesome fishing as well as camping, etc up here.
