Convert Your Friends With A Fly-Fishing Trip
If you’re an avid fly fisherman, you probably love to share your hobby with everyone, talking about some great memories from fly-fishing trips, good spots for catching big ones and tricks to reel in the fish instead of coming home empty handed. Fly-fishing does have its downsides though, mainly requiring a lot of time and patience, and bringing a friend along on a fly-fishing trip can go a long way towards making the time at the lake enjoyable. There isn’t always someone available to tag along with you on a fly-fishing trip. Concocting a plan to introduce friends or family to the hobby so you have a pool of fishing partners does have its merits, but if you’re going to try for that tactic, you’ll have to handle your fly-fishing trip well to make sure you don’t end up squashing any hope you had of sparking their interest.
Make Your Trip Cozy
Planning a fly-fishing trip for someone new to the hobby involves some careful consideration for the other person’s usual level of comfort. The last thing you want to do is turn them off fishing forever, so don’t book your stay in the wilderness where outhouses aren’t available and there’s no shelter unless you build it yourself from cedar branches. Try to plan for and accommodate your fly-fishing trip to include all the usual creature comforts you’ve grown used to doing without over the years so that your guests won’t feel like they’re on a survival trip.
Hot coffee in a thermos and a lunch in a small cooler can go a long way towards making your guest’s fly-fishing trip enjoyable. Bring seating along or at the very least, a small hunting-style cushion, as the shores of lakes can be full of branches and damp in spots. Be prepared for bad weather and have warm clothing and a rain suit available in case there are showers or the sunny day turns sour. Do try to help the other person learn as much as possible and make sure they’re having fun at all times, keeping in mind that they’re not the expert you are, and some things that may seem obvious to you may not be clear at all to the other person.
Most of all, if you’re going to bring someone along on your fly-fishing trip, respect the fact that, at the end of the day, they may decide fishing isn’t their thing. Should that be the case, you can at least take satisfaction that you’ve brought a new experience to someone’s life. But chances are, if you’ve planned your fly-fishing trip well and have done your best to make the day comfortable, pleasurable and fun, you’ll probably end up opening the door to a new activity for someone – and earn yourself a new fishing partner!
