Fly cast or Spin?

 Fishing has been an evolutionary experience, starting in Oklahoma with bacon on a hook in a city park pond. I had a wonderful time putting together some great Sierra and Los Padres trips with a spinner setup. Now I only flyfish because I love to see the action unfold as the trout moves to the fly. I no longer care to catch fish beyond 20 yards out. On my last trip to the Sisquoc with Jim, I had great success with nymphs in the riffles and bank edges which had previously been so frustrating for me. So, for me, I just keep on learning, having the fun... and frustrations associated with the process.


Getting into some tight spots with a roll cast. Close to the action.


Then getting some nice results.
