I bought my first fly setup this past year, fished a handful of times. No teachers just some light reading, screw ups, and off to the races. It's fun. Even in the bloody early cold morning. I've no waders so I only shore fish, but its nice and relaxing, and when you get something, it's even better. Think of it like driving the same trail repeatedly, it's always fun! Seasonally, and terrain movement/vehicle upgrades it is ever changing. Plus. If you succeed. Food!
