What kind of rod did you find? Who made it? Might be a treasure!

Fly fishing is addictive. Like all addictions, it's fairly easy to get
started, give that part a little time. Once you can cast, you should be able
to catch fish. From that point forward the learning curve is endless and so
is the addiction.

Make sure the reel and line you use matches the rod. Your friend or a good
fly shop should be able to help you. If there the line is mismatched to the
rod you will have a hard time learning how to cast, it will fight you.

Good luck!

Anyone out there fish bass bugs on a fly rod?

I would like to hear about which flys work for you and how/when/where do
you
use them.

Found a 7wt flyrod in one of my sheds - left over from a prev. owner.
Mid 80s - early graphite style - no reel. Have to get one yet.

Thought I might try it at some point. No fly rod exper. otherwise, so
its going to be learning curve. I did find some deer hair popper and
some wooly bugger flys at WalMart marked down. Also a fly fishing for
panfish and bass CD. Look around.

I do have a resource - know a avid fly fisherman - he has offered to
let me tag along on some of his trips.
