My Journey into Fly Fishing

Image
Me learning how to cast. It all started when I wanted a bike, yes, a bike! It was last summer and all I wanted was a cruiser bicycle to ride around in my neighborhood. After showing my husband all the bikes I wanted, he suggested we spend the money on a fly rod and reel.  We had been talking about getting in to fly fishing for a while so it was a no-brainer.  Cabelas Prestige rod and reel We went to Cabelas and found the Prestige kit.
