    Most people I meet on the river are not taking the time spent for granted. And it’s awesome to see

      Definitely! I love having a good conversation with good people on the water. Just another thing to enjoy about being out there 😁🎣

    This is so true. My doctor told me to keep fishing and tying flies, and when I stop doing that, then you know something is truly wrong. It's therapy to me every time I do either. I use my imagination to release and design flies. A slow day of fishing is still a day on the river, cherishing every moment.

      I love that! Keep tying, keep fishing, keep getting out there and enjoy every second. 😁🎣

    For me it has become about being out on the water, the rhythm of casting, trying to out think the fish, and finding the peace that being out on the water brings. There have been many days where I didn't catch a thing but I didn't feel like it was a wasted day. Any day on the water is a great day.

      Yes! That’s what it’s all about, the art of fly fishing is such a beautiful thing.

    I haven't gone fishing to catch fish in 30 years. It is mostly about being one with nature and enjoying the solitude.

    • @SpiritFlyExpeditions

      Dang….I hope to be there myself one day! I still have to catch myself and remember to enjoy the simple opportunity of being a witness to natures beauty.

    Well said. Fly Fishing is my PTSD therapy. Just throwing line in the back yard with no fly attached still helps me. Being on the water is the ultimate solace for me. Of course I am at the old guy stage of I just love to be out there. Catching fish is a bonus ;-) Fish On Brother!

    Honestly man you hit the nail on the head. I belong to a group called Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing. It’s a program designed to help wounded Veterans heal through fly fishing. Fly Fishing is my outlet to just go and be alone with my thoughts and reflect.

    Amen to that. Not only the act of fly fishing nor tying is relaxing, but also the act of preparing rest of the gear for tomorrows fly fishing "trip" is relaxing and charges my "batteries".

    if you cannot catch any fish, fly fishing, why not carry a spinning rod with spinners or just some powerbasit or fireballs and maybe then u can catch some fish.

      Live worms are the absolute best if you really want to catch some fish 🎣 but we Fly Fish for so much more than catching fish my friend 😊
