[quote Jonthecook]Had some spare time this weekend, so i decided to go out on the weber and try fly fishing for the first time. I only lost 3 flies to bushes and trees 
, and only saw one little guy take a snap at my fly (which i promptly missed because i had too much slack out there). All in all, it was a great learning experience, and i believe that next time i go out, i will be much much improved.
One thing i noticed is that i couldn't keep my fly floating for very long. I had some spray that i bought at walmart that i was using, that sort of worked, but are there any better products out there?[/quote]
Nice job on getting out, as for the floating fly issue, use a good floatant but also make sure you make some false casts to dry it off and make sure to keep your line mended as not to drag the fly which will make it sink.
