Sounds like you've done been hooked!!! And don't worry, the learning curve isn't too steep for too long...it's really pretty easy after a while. I wish I could have done what you did first time I picked up a fly rod. I think it was a few trips before I even caught one on the fly, but I've never looked back and though, when I'm with my boys or fishing for steelhead I still throw junk, it's just not as fun as flyfishing. Have fun!!!!
