Actually I have fly fished many times before, I am just still a novice
(ok probably intermedate). I have caught trout, half pound steelhead
and salmon before but am still at the intermediate/novice level.

Well, if you have caught steelhead and salmon, and still consider yourself a
novice, I don't know what to call myself--though I wouldn't come, if I
called myself, anyway.

My equipment was not very expensive, sth and okuma reels are only
about $30 - $40, several of the rods were handed down.

Expensive is really a relative term. I imagine that those hand-me-downs are
priceless, regardless of value.

Anyway, hang-in here. ROFF ain't such a bad place to learn and carouse, if
ya like that sorta thing and have a thick skin.
