Note to Lefty, please don't die, because fly fishing might follow.

Hard to believe it was once the fastest growing sport in America. Except for the 10 years or so after "The Movie" Saltwater Fly-Fishing has always been a sport with fairly low participation. I think a lot of fly fishers moved toward surfcasting.
