Fly fished for trout for years before finally realizing my heart wasn't in it and it no longer appealed to me. Went back to the species of my youth: bass, bluegill, perch, catfish, crappie.
They taste better, anyway.
Sorry to hear you're out of action for awhile...hope you're back out there soon harassing the bass...my early years in Wisconsin we chased crappie, bluegill, perch, Northern Pike, bullheads, and the occasional walleye..so when I got to Utah in the late 70's, I also was very excited to hit the mountains and streams for any trout species...Trout Unlimited, Utah Flyfishers, tying my own flies, wading the Provo, Ogden, Green, float tubing the Uintahs...did that...loved it...Then 15 years ago a buddy took me to the Gorge, trolling for kokes and lakers...that was a blast, I got my own boat, now I'm a troller convert...and love it...watching your rod tip jumping, or planer board go flying...just as exciting as seeing that red and white bobber sink with an unknown, as you put it, "species of my youth"...Guluk...
