Fly Casting or Fly Fishing is the one most therapeutic, rewarding, meditative, entertaining, competitive, stimulating and on and on and on act of leisure or sporting activity or way of life I know. It will take you to the most beautiful places on earth and you will meet some of the most interesting and giving people in the world. Regardless if your rich or poor from one side of the planet or the other you will always have something to talk about with your fellow fly fisherman.
