Everyone in our family when I was a kid fished.  My mom might have been the best of our lot, but she hasn't gone lately.  Not really sure why, but I'd always been interested in flyfishing, even as a kid.  Although I didn't have a flyrod as a kid, I did tie a few simple flies ( using a vise grips as a vise) I used to catch bluegill by casting a bobber and trailing a fly (it worked). Didn't purchase a flyrod until 1985.  Basically taught myself to cast.  Shortly after buying the rod I bought my first flytying vise (turned out to be a piece of junk) and later got a better one when I switched jobs (moving from Michigan to Louisiana), a Thompson Model A, which I still use.  Louisiana has proved a "Sportsman's Paradise" as its slogan says - bass, panfish, & saltwater fish are available year round - no closed seasons.  And the fish love flies -
