What would your fly fishing advice be if you were standing next to me?

I bought my first cheap fly rod today and took it out to the Farmington river in Ct. My casting needs a lot of work but I love it already. I need all the advice I can get though, so if you were with me on my next trip what advice would you offer.What would your fly fishing advice be if you were standing next to me?
Read this book.... The Curtis Creek Manifesto.


written by Sheridan Anderson available for less than $10


online at www.amatobooks.com It is friendly, fast, enjoyable, and full of what you are looking for. You will read it over and over, and you will be a great flycaster soon. Happy Flycasting.What would your fly fishing advice be if you were standing next to me?
be carefull of how the line hits the water......you would want the line to go forward and drop/fall into the water, not to cast/aim for the water.......
ok well i would say you need a wt7 line to practice and weight forward would be a good start the two main types of line to start with are a floating line and an intermediate also if you can afford it buy the best lines you can afford as cheap ones are a false economy and most of all remember it takes time to learn fly fishing and read as many magazines books etc that way you will learn much quicker...for more info try the website on my profile as it highlights many tips for the beginner
Hello fellow fisherman. My advice on casting is not to rush it, you will not be an expert caster your first year. I was in the same boat you are in and i went out and bought books on flycasting and found that they were helpful. I went out in my back yard and laid a hulla hoop on the ground and stood back and casted my fly in to the hoop and then i would back up further and do it again till i could get in the hoop consistently. practice practice does make perfect.





i hope i helped you out, good luck and good fishing.

When you see me draw my arm back as if to cast, run like h--l.
Get a float tube and get out on a lake where you don't have to worry about a backcast!! The best way to practice
