Learned to flyfish from my dad. We lived in Arkansas. So I learned at a pond filled with Bluegill Bream and Black Bass. Bream deserve to classified as a great flyfishing species. Nothing more fun than catching a mess of them either with worm and canepole or flyrod and popping bug.

I love the flyrod but the cane pole and a bobber represents fishing in its purest form. As for fish the bluegill bream will always be king of the gamefish.
