Although I have hunted and fished since I was 8 yrs old, I only took up fly
fishing 4 yrs ago and started tying flies about the same time.
My wife, Kathryn, and I often vacationed in northern New Mexico and I
thought I'd give fly fishing a try. I bought a 5 wt rod and put new
line on her
grandfather's Martin automatic fly reel. I went for it and got lucky by
catching a few fish.
These balsa bugs came about when I realized I could only fish for trout
10 or 12 days a year. Kathryn has also been an outdoors person all her
life and
would rather go camping than stay in a 4 star hotel.
