Anyone can Learn to Fly Fish!

Fly fishing is an enjoyable activity - part sport, part art and part science. The sport attracts a multitude of men and women from many walks of life. What is it about fly fishing that attracts so many diverse people?

Picture yourself standing in the water, a stream or the ocean, cool water rushing by - you are casting, picking up line, casting again, the movement of your arm creating a perfect loop and floating your fly to your intended target. Then! Bam! Fish on!

Famous Fly Fisher of the Month

Each month we'll showcase a different public figure that fly fishes...

This month's fly fishing celeb is none other than (drum roll please...) ... Brad Pitt!

Yes, Mr. Pitt was coached for the movie "A River Runs Through It", Robert Redford's screen adaptation of Norman Macleans's classic fly fishing novel.

It is rumored, however, that Brad kept hitting himself in the back of the head with his fly as he was learning to cast. I hope he was wearing a hat! And sunglasses for that matter! We tell all our beginners to do so. You'll find lessons and many more tips at AnglerUniversity.com!
