Over the weekend I went to the Bushkill Bug Symposium and I found it very interesting. As I said before in class I met some fly fishermen and they described what its like flyfishing on the Bushkill. They told me how complex this way of fishing was, everything needed to be right to catch the fish. Things like what the Ph of the water, what type of bugs are underwater what bugs are on top of the water, that the temp of the water is, what time of day it plays an effect on what type of fish will bite the fly.
The symposium seems indeed very interesting. After seeing the pictures you took, I have begun to regret not going there. These fly fishermen are true experts. Also, I found it is funny that they use artificial insects rather than real bugs as baits.
That seems like a great time. I’m kind of sad that I didn’t stay for that part. I’ve also never gone fishing before. Would fly fishing be a good or terrible place to start?
