  • Stripers on The
    By Joe Lupton Fly-fishing just seems to be something I have always done. I learned how while in high school from my best friend Jack and his dad, Andy. In fact, I bought my first fly rod from Andy around 1954. It was an 8 ½ foot Action Rod in a D weight. That was a sweet casting rod. I used that rod all through high school fishing at the city reservoir during the summer for bluegills and bass. It was finally stolen from me while I was in the Army in Alabama. Up until then, I had never used anything else. I think I replaced it with an ultra light spinning rod and sort of gave up the fly rod for a few years. I bought a Fenwick four piece rod and got back into fly-fishing in the seventies. I did some trout fishing and fly tying in the Asheville, NC area. Eventually, my job as a pilot landed me in the Tidewater Area of Virginia. No trout streams. My attempts to go fishing (I had no boat at first) on the local lakes were not very productive. The bream were small and the bass fishing was very slow. In 1983 I bought a sailboat and started racing. The fly rod was almost forgotten about. What little fishing I did was bottom fishing or trolling for bluefish or whatever might hit a trolled lure. From a Sailboat? Sacrilege! Oh well, I still like to fish and this was all I had. I still wanted to fly fish, but from a sailboat? Forgetaboutit! I was at a boat show in Virginia Beach in 2000 when I saw a bunch of fellows in a booth for a Fly fishing club.
