My father in law has been fly fishing for about 10 years now. he joined a club about an hour away (Cleveland, OH area). I've never been, but all he does is talk about how relaxing it is.
I absolutely LOVE fly fishing! I also fly fish for mainly warm water fish (bass and bream) because there aren't trout in Alabama. If you want some fun and a GREAT fight, tie on a poppin bug in a place where bream are prevalent. Vicious strikes and a great fight. I caught a 1.5 pound bluegill on my five weight and I swear it was a harder fight than the five pound bass I had caught a week before on that same set up! It is a great hobby! In three weeks I'll be in Bozeman Montana and can't wait to catch some trout!!
Come on up to Colorado....... I know some streams and lakes at 8000 feet that are fly fishing heaven. Im not a fly man myself....... I always end up snapping off the hook.

That's mainly what I've been using, deer hair and foam poppers for panfish and bass.
I got into fly fishing a few years ago and I love it. Living up here in NE Ohio I have one of the best Steelhead Trout runs in the country and thats what got me started. Last year I started tying my own flies. If you want to know what satisfaction feels like just wait til you catch a fish on one of your own flies. Its great. You picked a great hobby to get into just be careful, just like cigars this can become a very expensive hobby to have.
