Hi Everyone,

My name is Rory. I'm just starting out in the world of fishing. Right
now I'm torn between fly fishing and spin casting. They both seem to
have a bunch of pros and cons. Any opinions?

Look around your area and see what opportunities present themselves.

I gave up on fly fishing when I could never find any hooks that small.

What you need depends on your location. Brushy wooded streams can be
flyfished, but it is tough. Open water can be flyfished for even large
species of fish. I tend to prefer spin fishing, as I have neck and shoulder
problems. Like I say, it depends on where you're at. Is it lakes, streams?
Would float tubing be an option. It's lots of fun, inexpensive, and can get
you into some darn fine fishing holes that are otherwise inaccessible. Or
would a boat be better?

As stated, look around and see what everyone else is using. After that,
there's a zillion kinds of rods and reels. They all catch fish.
