Author:
Im going to Wyoming for my summer this year and dont know anything but bass fishing! Should i just chill and become a live bait fisherman and fill my summer that way, or should i really try to fish for other things, and maybe learn to pick up a fly rod. Will i actually enjoy this and actually learn how to fish for a fish ive never seen before, I barely even know what kind of fish they got up there. Any tips and every tip about anything and everything would be appreciated!

Wyoming has some great streams and rivers you can fish, plus some nice lakes. I would suggest you contact a fly club or fly shop in Texas and take a couple of hours of basic casting lessons and learn to fly fish. Below are some fly clubs, if one of them is any where near you, give them a call. As for a rod and reel and line, there are some places that sell a starter outfit for a reasonable amount of money. Give fly fishing a try, you will like it.
Another choice is what we call Selective Gear Rules up here in Washington State. That is where you can fish waters with either using barbless flies or a spinning outfit rigged with a single barbless hook. That way you can release the fish that you don’t want to keep, and the fish will live to be caught again some other day.
Texas has a number of great fly clubs. If you live near any of them, give them a call and see about obtaining some basic instruction in fly fishing.

if you have a good assortment of rebels , rapalas and lures like those in the 2&1/2″ – 4″ range take them with you . also take some silver and some gold castmasters , white and black rooster tails and take a good medium light action rod with a really good reel that has an excelent drag on it .
work the rebels on the top just like you do for bass , cast quartering up steram and as the lure starts to come across from you make sure you have the slack out of the line and give it a good twitch let it come back up and hit it again……..just like you do when your immitating an injured bait fish for bass. I knock the hell out of trout like that everywhere I go fishing !
