I always wanted to go and never took the time. Our trips are packed with stuff so never booked something. So this morning was my first real fly fishing opportunity. Went with a guide in Red River NM. I am hooked. I didn't have any issues picking it up. Regular casting and roll casting. This was private so it wasn't the wild wild river I have seen in pictures. But great for me to start. Guide was an ag class of '80. He taught me all about the "match the hatch" slogan. I didn't realize how technical things were with flies based on hatches and time of year. We fished with caddis fly and then a streamer. I ended up catching and landing 4. Missed quite a few. 3 rainbows and one brook. These were small but still beautiful. I can't wait to go again.
