Thank you, yes I am completely new but, there is a trout and grouse a block from my work and they give lessons in this small pond right behind the store! so I am going to take a lesson or 2 before I actually start fly fishing. I also purchased "Muskie on the Fly" which is a pretty lengthy book so I am sure that is full of great info. I'm just wondering if people have success on the chip and some of the techniques they use.
