Learning to cast a flyline is a worthwhile skill. Even hard worked fish are suckers for a fly, and a light rod tip kills more fish.
A flyrod works a lot more water, faster, and you can instantly drop a fly to a rising fish, rather than reel in, cast, and crank repeatedly.
A roll cast or a sidearm cast will lightly work a lure under overhanging limbs and banks, and the beauty of it all, is that you don't actually need a flyrod.
Line, leader, tippet and fly can be cast by hand, (well, by arm), and you can make your own flies and lures out of almost anything.

My No.1 protein choice in the wild, is froglegs.
Walk along any pond, stream, swamp edge, creek bank, feeder ditch, and you'll find frogs. Tie a line to a pole, with a hook on the end. Dap a hook off Mr. Bullfrog's nose, and he'll bite. Haul him up to you, and you now have tasty legs, and lots of guts as bait for bank lines and trot lines, and bait for snares and deadfalls on dry land.

Yes, they do kinda taste like chicken, incredibly sweet, tender chicken.
