On this post I wanted to go over ways I have found to get info and ideas out about this great sport we all love. I want to share a few ways I have found info, and gathered ideas and met people from all kinds of various backgrounds. What we all share is a common interest of chasing scaly creatures of all shapes and sizes. No matter what you fish for (I loooove chasin carp on the fly) smallies, pan fish, trout, bones, tarpon, permit, you name it we all share passion and challenge of catching fish on the fly. I'm just going to give you a few of the ways I have found good info. So let's have a look at some of the ways that I have gotten info. Cheers and tight Lines!

The first obvious way that I found to wast time and entertain myself was Youtube, you can type almost anything in the search bar with the word "flyfishing" in it and will come up on various thing. I've been so distracted at times by this that I often dive in and make a right turn 15 minutes later and am watching something completly Different than what I searched for, that is the good and bad of this stuff. I have ADHD and that attention span of a gnat and will often get distracted in seconds! haha, that's not my fault just my brain. Good stuff can be found all over the internet but Youtube has been a vary good outlet for me. I've learned so much over a couple years, that I would have to learn the hard way. Don't you worry the learning curve on fly fishing is steep and long lol..Some of the best pages I follow on Youtube, just to name a few are
-The Orvis Channel
-In the riffle
-The guys at Fly Fish Food
Another great way, mostly to get fishing buddies and just socialize in the community is Facebook groups about fly fishing. I'm a junkie when it comes to groups of like minded people, I'm part of several groups that are each individual in their own way, which makes them fun and unique. I'm part of a couple fly tying groups ( Don't ask about tying, it will consume you just like fly fishing) Just buy fly from guys like me shameless plug, Oh well I like to make money. I'm part of groups just dedicated to fly fishing in general. Then we have groups that are like no other, but at some point grip and grin fish pics are posted and crude comments are made and in the end we all have a good laugh. Here is a couple of examples of good groups on social media. Theweekendwade
*Renegades on the fly
*Indiana Fly Fishing
*Fly Tying with Uncle Cheech
*Fly Tyers Anon
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDDDD, By far the best way to learns is to just go out and FISH! It's where I learned the most valuable lesson, Ive broke gear, Slipped, fell busted my ass on every mudslide, rock and branch on the white river. I learned how to fight fish ( Actually land them) Present flies and read the water. I love the tranquility of the calm spring or fall morning, catching gnats in your teeth after choking on them and spitting those little critters out! haha, no really in all seriousness it the best way to learn about all things fly fishing. you will learn the most valuable lessons in life when you have that fly swinging through the air and eventually ( after a while lot of knots, snags and cussing, maybe a few beer. Hey whatever you're into) catching a fish. All in all I just want to share info on the sport I love and help a few other people out along the way. Go fish, Follow me on instagram, facebook and subscribe to the blog and we will all be ok at the end of the day!
