]This is a lecture course!
As you can tell by all the written advice you are getting.
The local fly fishing club was giving lessons. I seized on the opportunity.
Best $20 I ever spent.
Yes a Cheap line, Short stiff leader and be sure to keep the Cat away from your line.
Just flip it at first. Practice the "lift" and watch the line as it straightens out behind you. That's THE most important part of fly casting.
Patience.
He had us learning on a 'Dry' line, white, so we could see what we were doing better. Or he could see us better.
There' s nothing more exciting to a Fisherman, than to approach some water, and through the brush, catch a glimpse of that bright white line sailing out in a straight line....and it looks good casting in your front yard too.
You need a mentor. Somebody who can watch the Vid's with you and then yell at you when your not doing it right.
Watch out! Your wife or Daughter will very soon, out cast you!
