I started out combining the two with a multipiece strapped to my old LeTour while attending grad school in Indiana, where I first saw someone fly fishing in a small lake, and thought it the coolest activity I'd ever seen. I still bikefish in Miami--there's a canal or a lake in a park nearly everywhere you turn--and always keep an old glass rod in the car on my way to anywhere around the area. Biking aside, this summer I fished for a day while in Iceland for a meeting, catching many small brown trout on the Varma south of Reykjavik. Am now just back from Montana, where I attended a Project Healing Waters benefit with Greg Brown performing; we fished the upper Big Blackfoot, where we caught lots of beautiful West Slope cutts, and then Hound Creek where it runs through one of those huge ranch properties--lots of browns, a few up up to 20 inches. Wow. All of us fishing cane rods, the fly fishing analog to lugged steel frames!
