Fly fishing sure looks like fun. I haven’t had a chance to tackle the sport of fly-fishing, but it’s on my bucket list. Who knows, I might just find it to be a ‘new’ favorite pastime.
I found out that those of us, in or near Oklahoma, that want to learn fly-fishing can do so at Whitlock’s School near Tahlequah.
