Look into it. I pretty much started out with one when I was a wee laddie. Moved ‘up to the big leagues’ with casting stuff. Now I prefer to just relax and wave the fly pole. Haven’t given up the other methods by any stretch. I’ll pitch a jig or soak worms and shad. The fly rod just simplifies stuff and you don’t feel like you’re at work. (Unless I’m on a bonefish flat. I get a bit serious there.)
