When I first started fly fishing I felt that I had to have a good deal of money, time to plan big trips to exotic destinations, and have a desire to chase the biggest fish ever.

I found out for me that that just didn't fit the bill. I was going after fish, in the rivers that everyone else fished. Because hey they caught big fish.

After trying this for a little while, I realized that it just wasn't my speed. There were other things that were on my list for experiencing.

It seems that everyone has a secret to their success. We've all see it on T.V., someone out there has their lucky socks that they never wash, ever. Well fly fisherman can be the same way.

"I've got my lucky pattern."

"I've got my favorite hole, it always has fish."

"I always catch fish, if I just go at the right time in the early morning."
