What age did you leave home?

[debodun]

Not then, but I am now (slighly). I was so overprotected that I now have difficulty dealing with people and situations and there's no one around to do it for me.

I've never tied a fly. They were just too easy to buy. Also, most of my friends who were better fishermen than I, never use flies. They used spinners with fresh worms on the hook, and while I was out there artfully casting flies, they were busy catching fish. Eventually, a guy I worked with took me down to the river and taught me a few things, almost all of which revolved around knowing what flies to use and when the river would yield the best catch. It was a game changer, and then I started catching fish, usually cutthroat trout, and sometimes a rainbow.

Any chance of a holiday Dave, just kidding, I cannot stand up. So many books written about fly-fishing in Montana, I am envious, so perhaps in the next life. Rainbow trout do not breed in the UK for some reason, except in one small river.

I graduated high school and 2 weeks later, I was in boot camp.
