Welcome, hmmm if you're shopping at SAIL where IR4J is working then you're on the east end. Fly Fishing is not my thing but there are some spots that I fish that I can say, fly fishing will work better than casting or drifting. because I still manage some fish drifting flies.

Welcome!
I have come to respect that ff is a minimally invasive style of fishing when practicing c&r, in comparison to other styles. And no harm to live bait 
Never gotten into fly rods and reels, but I have definitely made use of flies as bait on my spinning gear.

IR4J:
I emailed Bob on a Sunday afternoon and received an unexpected response from him that same day! My Kate`s are on order and should arrive at SAIL in no more than 2 weeks...Bob also mentioned via email that he sent a cc of my order to the SAIL buyer.
Needless to say, I am very thankful to you and Bob. I appreciate all of your help!
I can almost retire my RUBBER BOOTS...and explore the waters!

Not really...a little while up north on the boat,
I'm a true NEWBIE!
To be quite honest a couple of weeks ago was the first time I ever touched a fish... 
lol
A few days ago I actually took the hook out...silly but true.
I plan on learning as much as I can...
