"Dave Karczynski could write about a puddle of mud drying out and make it interesting. When his work crosses my desk, I read it right now. And its always a treat."
-- Greg Thomas, former Editor, Fly Rod & Reel "No matter how old you are, coming to fly fishing from conventional fishing is, in my opinion, the best education you can have for fly fishing. (In fact, some of the very best saltwater fly anglers I know started as commercial fishermen). You are already more than halfway there. Fly fishing is not some arcane black art. Its just another way of sticking a hook in a fishs mouth.
You are about to join someone I think youll come to feel is your fishing buddy. Dave will take you on a journey without condescension, and will explain all the silly fly-fishing jargon. Hell reference similarities and differences to conventional fishing. He speaks your language. And I totally agree with Daves philosophy of starting with panfish. Everybody associates fly fishing with trout, but if you begin fly fishing by chasing trout you will quickly become discouraged and frustrated. Trout are hard to catch, unless you find wilderness brook trout or cutthroats that have seen minimal fishing pressure.
So take fly-rod fishing in the order he presents it here. Dont be impatient. You have the rest of your life to enjoy fly fishing alongside all the other methods of fishing you enjoy."
