I bought a fly rod today. I don’t know anything about fly fishing.

Just read Norman MacClean's [A River Runs Through It](https://amzn.to/45067ZE) and -- though it teaches no technique -- you'll get the spirit of it... ;-)

Started it last night 🤙😁.

One of the very few instances where the movie does the book justice.

It is one of my favourite movies.

Any words of advice, as I delve into the world of a fly angler?

The only thing I ever hooked while fly fishing was a 165 lb. inebriated frat boy...so...sadly, no.

learn to tie her own flies

they get really fkn expensive.

Cheaper than therapy 😜

Wrist action, you’re good at that aren’t you? 😜

It’s more about how you place the fly, Marie😜

You sure about that? 😂

💯 the right fly, for the right moment, placed in the right position, always leads to success.

That’s a lot of ‘rights’ to get it right!

When you get to my age, the pursuit for perfection is far more valuable than the end results.

Pretty sure I’m older than you wolf 🐺💜

By a bit, maybe 🫂💜

My uncle in law is in love with it. Plans all his trips around being able to fish X place for Y fish haha.

It looks incredibly cathartic once you have the technique down.

doesn't this knowledge run in a wolf's veins?

It’s been bred out of me 😂

Well, you at least know you can’t fly fish without the rod. So good for you.
