Then why not practice without a fly - with just a pole and a line?
You would not bother any fish, and you would derive as much enjoyment.
(I am not into fishing so I may be missing something)
- vanattab 8y agoI often do basically that. I love fly fishing the pond on my parents property but the weeds and algae blooms make cleaning the hook annoying chore every few casts. So I just cut the hooks off. I have fished that pond so many years I just don't really have any need to reel in a fish there. I know exactly how big of bass and bluegill the pond supports and simply love perfecting the art and watching the fish slam the flies I learned to tie by catching the insects I have seen there growing up.
