One of the reasons it's growing is because it's an outdoor sport, and it can be done in very pretty places. For those who are faithful spin fishermen, flyfishing is catching up with the traditional fishing style. While spinfishing requires a lure and a weight, Kramer emphasizes to those he is teaching that the casting process for fly fishing is totally different from that of spinfishing. In spinfishing, you need a weight on your line, but with a flyrod, the lure is the weight. Flyfishing is also a sport that can only be mastered with endless practice.

Flyfishing is a very productive form of fishing, and Kramer says that many fishermen make the switch from spinfishing to flyfishing and never go back. Kramer also believes that those who fish should treat it like any other sport, if they want to get better, by practicing. The biggest problem most fishermen have is that they just don't fish enough.
