Most normal people would just pick up a rod and reel, watch a few people cast and then go do it. Not me! Oh no, I'm going to spend two hours (and some money) tomorrow and get a lesson from someone who really knows what to going on. He owns his own fly fishing shop, guides and gives lessons, so in my book he's a professional. I'll probably have him pulling his hair out in no time at all with my ineptitude.
For years my wife has worried about me getting another hobby (I've done almost nothing than play golf for 62 years as a hobby) so she keeps steering me to something and this is the flavor du jour for me. I used to go bass fishing and enjoyed it, but this is a whole other thang (as we say down here in Texas). I'm looking forward to all this but don't have a great deal of confidence in my ability.
