I had a great morning fishing, way better than any of the gear folks. I was approached by 3 other fly fisherman on my way out. One younger fellow was so new he still had the zip tie on his reel, but was really eager to learn. We spent several minutes looking through his boxes and picking some flies and more taking about fishing in general. If you're new, or even if your not, if it's not working the way you want what have you got to loose by asking? Some folks are gruff, but the people I met were really nice and I'll always share, especially with folks who are changing over and want to put them back.
