Interestingly, Yosemite is what got me hooked on fly fishing. I had dabbled with it, but always relied on spinning gear for "real" fishing. I was fishing some river in Yosemite with spinning gear and saw some feeding trout in calm water out in the open. Those trout were about as likely to eat my spinner as they were to light up a cigar. I decided right then and there that I'd dedicate to learning how to catch trout like those with flies.

We have to swap fishing stories sometime! Most years I take a trip and meet up with a group of guys in Montana or somewhere like that. It's great having some local knowledge without having to hire a guide.
