Ontario has many great Tributaries to catch trophy Steelhead on the the fly... The River was low and clear this day...so the 4lb, 9ft, 5x tippet and black stone nymph excelled, and was stealth for the spooked fish. Cant beat fresh chrome on the fly!
I myself am a rookie, when it comes to fly fishing. I have learnt enough though through my elders and people that are better than me, to be able to keep up with most:) Keep an open mind and have patience.. Once you hook your first... you ll see... Its totally different from anything else.. I was a sceptic at first, however now I cant wait to bring out the fly rod.
The best piece of advice I can give you for your first outing is to get a well respected fly fisherman, or someone that just plain knows his stuff to set you up for the first time!... It can be confusing for the new angler, and can mean the difference between a good day, and a horrible day!
Knots, different insect hatches, types of line, and casting are just a few skills that come with time and research.
Don't take it from me... go to your local tackle shop.. find someone that fly fishes... and check it out yourself.. It may surprise you, and gives a whole new aspect of fishing to conquer:)
