Chapter 11 : Conclusion

Fly fishing is an excellent way to explore nature and wildlife and catch a little dinner while you’re at it! Many people fish just for the sport of it and release the fish after they catch it. The choice is up to you, but either way, you are likely to find a great deal of enjoyment in this great sport!

As you can tell, there are a lot of components involved in fly fishing, but they are parts that you can easily learn and master with practice. I think you will find that the more you fish, the better you will become just as with any sport.

Of course, there are no hard and fast rules as to what techniques are the best. Play around with your fly rod, see what type of casting works for you, and above all, have fun.

As I said before, fishing can relieve stress, and shouldn’t create it. When you relax, enjoy the scenery around you, and have fun, you’ll get maximum enjoyment out of your new hobby.

Learn all that you can and always be open to suggestions from other anglers. Just as children learn by watching, we can learn too from watching and listening. Take advice from those who have been there and done that. By that we mean, those who have honed the craft and been met with success.

When you land your first huge fish, the rewards will be well worth the time you’ve taken to learn fly fishing. Then you can proceed from there and become the type of fisherman you always dreamed of.

Now get out there and look for the fish. When you land a really big one, mount it and hang it proudly in your home. Then you can say, “I caught that one with a dry fly in Colorado”. What could be better than that?
