And so it begins...

I would like to begin by welcoming any and all who find this blog... And then promptly apologize for it.
Let me be frank... I am by no means a fly fishing expert. As a matter of fact, I'm as green as the lush lawns at your local country club. The purpose of this blog is to share my journey towards understanding this new addiction... Fly fishing.
I guess the best place to start is at beginning (I know, quite profound). I discovered fly fishing the way many have... The movie "A River Runs Through It". I was instantly fascinated by the sport, but I was also quite young, quite poor, and already involved in too many activities to try adding another. And so I put the thought out my mind.
Fast forward to the present... My first father's day, to be exact. I woke up to a wonderful surprise! My son, Elias, had gotten me my first fly fishing kit, complete with rod, reel, fly line, and everything else needed to get started. I immediately contacted the local Orvis store and registered for their fly fishing 101 class.
The class was great, and I learned most of the basics, including how to cast, tie knots, and select flies. I was ready to go! Oh wait, I still needed flies for the trip to Canada. Some bass poppers and a few woolly buggers took care of that.
I was off and running...
