A 20quid Lesson Will Put 20yards On Your Cast

Thought you said on another thread that distance isn't important? In my experience the main benefit about improving your casting is being able to cast accurately and to place the fly on the surface with minimal disruption. That brace is a bloody good start I reckon and he shows he is thinking about things as he has said how a change in the retrieve rate bagged his one fish. Good start, it took me a lot longer to land my first fish on the fly!

Definately worth getting casting lessons Paul. You'll learn more in an hour with a good instructor, than you'll learn in a year on your own.

sounded like a good session well done on the lovely rainbows , I hope to get some lessons on Fly Casting soon because I need to do more of Fluff Chucking and im not to brilliant at casting

Thanks for the advice. i am going out again on Friday, practice some casting. By the way on my first lesson i caught three fish i rainbow,1 brown and a Blue Ttrout I have never herad of a Blue trout before. Looking forward to my next lesson. After a few more lessons i will be looking to buy my first outfit. Again i will be taking the advice of my instructor. Cheers Paul
