brooktrout Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 After many years of spinning, worming,and dapping for trout I recently tried my hand at flycasting. What an absorbing sport this is. After spending a couple of weeks thrashing a rod around, and almost dislocating my right arm, ive eventually realised that the effort to cast a decent fly involves almost no physical effort at all. and that the "job satisfaction" is tremendous. I realise that the best way to learn is under instruction from an expert, but ther is something to be said for learning it through your own mistakes. Some excellent instructional websites out there also. Anyone else out there learning the rudiments?, or advice from seasoned flycasters would be greatly apreciated.

barryrabo Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 Its great to hear,you've taken up real fishing. It's a great hobby,as well as a sourse of fresh fish and a talking point at the pub ,where we would all rather be,if the truth be told. It wont be long till you are tying your own flies,and really annoying the other half, with feathers and tinsel all over the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roelof Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 The best thing is to go to a casting Instructor on fly fishing look for this after the instructors name APGAI that means he is registered . They can be expensive but it is money well spent :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
