Even though I used to go fishing with my dad and uncles a lot as a kid, I never got to try out fly fishing.
Fly fishing is definitely strnager since it takes so fineness using an angling method and a "fly"  
I remember seeing people string up the flies before in TV and in movies, and it always seemed interesting to me.
Yea it requires some time and getting used to the strange style and casting techniques as well as making the fly lure.
Unfortunately, I don't think I'll get much of a chance to learn fly fishing any time soon, as where I live is more known for their crabs than fish.
You live near Maryland or not American? I know with fly fishing its pretty uncommon and the fly fishers have to make their own lures with the knots to look like bait. 
I do, in the old part of Annapolis.  It's all about the crabs here.  At most I can bait a crab trap, not make any neat lures.
Yea i can imagine fly fishing and tying bait knots isnt common.
I'm not giving up hope though. Maybe I can add that to my ideas for future vacation ideas.
The techniques differ quite a lot and take practice so it would require some studying and practice.
