chief writes 'Fly Fishing II – How to Get Started
By Tim Quinton
Welcome back Natural Sportsman Fly Fishermen! And Women – I call all of you Fly Fishermen, regardless of gender. I figure if that’s OK with Linda Greenlaw (skipper of one of the Andrea Gail’s sister ships in “The Perfect Storm”), then it’s OK with me.
Since becoming a Fly Fisherman 40 years ago I have progressed from novice to professional, and I have helped many of my friends and relatives get started in the sport. That is my goal in this article – to help you Fly Fishermen wannabe’s start your journey on the right foot.
In this installment we’ll talk about equipment: rods, reels, lines, leaders, flies, clothing, and the assorted stuff we use while fly fishing. In the next article we’ll briefly go into the fishing part. Volumes have been written about fly fishing and I’ll just cover the basics. Finally, I’ll touch on my thoughts on conservation and how to make sure future generations can enjoy the sport.

I can remember blowing darts across the interior of the club with remarkable power and accuracy. ( it took pliers to remove them from the pine walls) We decided to go fishin' and brought along the two weapons. We felt like two bad-ass CONGO BUSHMAN SNIPERS. We pulled into our main duck hole and to our amazement was a 12 foot alligator sticking up out of the levy. (the poor smelly ol' grand dad had washed out of his den during a recent flood of the Bayou Meto and froze to .) "Whap! Whap! Whap". I can still remember the sound as we drove 3 blow darts right between the giant gators eyes from about 20 feet.. Laughing like little kids, Michael and I headed toward the boat ramp. We waved as our caretaker Danny and another feller drove by at a high rate of speed. Unfortunately the other feller was a STATE GAME WARDEN.
