Hi, I am attenyding Utah State University and am writing a paper on Fly
Fishing. If you would please respond answers to the following
questions.
Why did you choose Fly Fishing as a hobby?

Although there are many ways to catch fish, I look at fly-fishing as a
medium which requires a lot of skill, patients and discipline. Fly-fishing
is not for everyone and makes up a small percentage of the fishing world,
but for those who take the time to master the art will find it quite
rewarding.
To me fly-fishing is relaxing, it's a passion for me to escape from the
realities of everyday life as I practicing my casting twice a day and test
my skills when I do get on the water. There are no shortcuts, what you put
into it, is what you'll get out of it.

What is the best equipment for entry level to experience fly
fishing?

For entry level I would recommend a 9' 5wt fly rod with a reel that would
house 5 weight-forward line to start with. I still use a very inexpensive
from today's standard fly-rod, something I got attached to...sometimes it's
not about the price. Again these are my own personal views, as others may
have other suggestions.

What is the very best experience you have had fly fishing? Where was
it?

Out in the middle of nowhere on a river by myself, soaking in the beauty of
the surroundings.


What is the very worst experince you have had fly fishing? Why?

Never had a bad outting, as I make it a point to always enjoy getting out,
even if I don't catch fish.

Have you ever fished the Logan River? What was your experience like?

Never been there, but do enjoy if you go.

I sure appreciate your input on this topic, as I am just barely
learning to fly fish myself.
Thanks.

Good luck with your paper and at Utah State University and hope you have
some great experiences in Fly-fishing.
