Gearing up for flyfishing can be overwhelming, particulaly if you use store-bought stuff.......(how many flies will $10 buy me?). I did that only to discover being limited as to what I could throw at the fish. I then purchased all the equipment needed enabling me to tie my own flies. Most flies require only a few minutes to tie, it takes <10 cents to tie one, so while I'm at it I'll tie varying combinations of colors of the same fly thus increasing my chances of having the right color for finicky fish. Tie up a bunch of Clowsers and deceivers. I recommend surfing this Forum for the details.........found in the fly tying forum and the links found on the Homepage. The Reel-Time Forum is an all inclusive source of information on the art of flyfishing. The Reel-Timers are really a great source also, they are great guys, so don't be afraid to ask questions. The New England Reel-Timers use pretty much the same flies as we do down here, only much bigger! (Their Deceivers are 4-6inches long as opposed to our 1.5-2 inches) Additionally, the techniques and tactics they use up there are no different than what we use down here.
I have been active in the New England Forum because I fished up there once. I stay in touch as much as I can and have developed comradery with some of them....after all..we are all Fishermen! I am lightyears ahead in my flyfishing expertise because they have been so helpful. Also a great source of info on boats, yaks, and every thing else about fishin' except how to pay for it. Yeah, there are other forums geared for Texas fishing but I have found them to be non-informative or simply bully-pulpits for the varying klans of rednecks.
Keep in touch. You ever get down to Port O'Connor? Where is Kingwood, anyway? Houston area?
