The "hardware chucker" was absolutely enthralled w/ fly fishing after our visit to Sandfly's place. Back at the cabin he watched me spool my new Ocean City reel, listened as I explained backing, line, leader and tippet, and left his "hardware" at home all day the following day. He is now firmly in the fly fishing camp! Didn't touch his spin rod all day on Friday. He's a natural, too!
