Best for Starter?

[FlyFishingMoose]

Do you have a friend who does flyfishing? That's the best plaace to start. If you do then ask to borrow a clunker pole (one to practice with) in your backyard or at a park. This is where and how I learned how the throw the flies. It also will prevent you from loosing a lot of gear before you ever get to cast for fish on the water. I started with just trying to figure out how to let the line out without making a mess or tying lots of knots into the line then I learned how the throw the fly and finally how to place the fly where I wanted to. It was pretty ugly in the beginning, and still not very good, but a lot better and I felt a lot more confident when I finally went out to the lake/river to start fishing for something other than land fish. I spent many days casting in the back yard and hitting the park near work at lunch time. I got a lot of goofy looks at first, and a lot of people wanted to know what we were doing, after a week or so of the same thing it all started coming together. Its easy to learn how to throw far, its quite another to learn how to toss the fly under a low hanging branch into the right spot and hook a fish (its an art) I'm no way near that, but its still fun. Hope this helps, might sound stupid to some but it's paid off for me. And it was cheaper than taking classes. If you have any question ask anyone or PM me, we're all here to help
