grew up fly fishing in japan. browns and bows some salmon and lots of saltwater, then in the states every trout species except for the silver, gila apaches. I think Grayling trout and seas run cuts were my favorite. smallies on the yakima river, here I did some LM. but carp fly fishing is an absolute blast. wasnt to keen on fly fishing here in AZ after being in Japan and all the other states.

I still need to catch a tarpoon on a flyrod and a northern bigger then a hammer handle on a flyrod. caught plenty of decent northerns here just nothing decent on a fly rod yet.

Love to fly fish, though it tapered off a bit while my kids were younger and learning (easier to start them on worms/spinning-lures....).

Some buddies and I purchased all of the permits for Christmas Tree lake in a couple of weeks.  Can't wait to spend the day floating & casting for those trout. ;)   Also greatly enjoy pulling streamers for smallmouth on the Black River on occasion.

Good fun!

I have, only place I ever fished for them purposly.

canyon and pleasant. I used cigarette butts and foam ear plugs. they will eat anything thrown on the water that floats and reassembles popcorn. There trash fish and just nasty , not to mentio your buddies will give you crap but they fight better than any other fish I have caught including on rod and reel.

I didnt fly fish that much here in AZ maybe 3-5 times a year

I used to go backpacking in Glacier and Yellowstone just to flyfish many years ago.  Big Lake was nice when the average rainbow was 15".  I have not flyfished much in recent years.
