Snapping a different kind of hook - golfer's technique for fly fishing - Brief Article

Fly-fishing is like golf in that you have to find a rhythm to increase your chance of success. On my first trip, to Ireland with my good friend Mark O'Meara about four years ago, I had a hard time finding my rhythm, but I managed to land a few browns and rainbows. I've been hooked ever since. I love it for many reasons--one is that you can get away and just hang out with friends. My fishing tips? Forget about everything and just enjoy it, be ready to hook a fish on every cast and look out for unexpected visitors like bears, which like fish, too . . . but that's another story. Tiger Woods
