Never having fly fished before, the learning curve will be steep; but any worthy pursuit requires effort. That's what keeps it interesting for me.
My local fly fishing outfitter is about 7 miles away, so I stopped in on Friday afternoon to check it out.
I met some nice guys at Schultz Outfitters who love fly fishing and spent time with me discussing the possibilities and considerations.
I also found a plethora of videos on YouTube to help pass the cold months and help cure my no-fishing-itis.
I would love to find some used equipment to save a few dollars, but I will buy new too. The winter months provide some time to pull together a proper budget for spring fishing.
Based on my trip to Schultz Outfitters the ballpark all in investment is approximately $450 for gear and then $150 for 1-on-1 lessons.
I am not a boat owner, so being restricted to shore fishing and wading-accessible spots should help keep costs down too.
