Fly fishing

Went fly fishing with Hugh today. We went up to the Great lake and Lake Arthur. He demonstrated how to whip the rod, 10 o'clock, 2 o'clock, 10 o'clock, 2 o'clock. It looks easy till I tried it. To be honest, it isn't easy at all. I was swinging my rod like a lasseo and it just didn't work for me. I was told that it takes a long time to master it (varying on whose's the teacher) Well...I didn't even manage to cast the fly into the water. Nevertheless, it is a good experience. An expensive one I must say, it cost me $18 for the license and $9 for the flys.

*Flys- small little plastic structures made out of feathers and beads; used for fly fishing.
