"correct" method, I attempted the change. As much as I tried to reel left,
it felt awkward so I changed all my reels back to right hand reel. Just
wanted to know if I was in the minority.

As a righty, I find it much more convenient and natural to use a
left-handed retrieve. Before I started fly fishing I used spinning gear,
and the left-handed retrieve came easily.

The only time I've used a right-handed retrieve recently is while
sal****er fishing, when it's sometimes important to retrieve as fast as
possible.
