Actually you might find an online video or one at the library. After you find a book or video and get your line all set up, tie a piece of yarn or rag (to take the place of the fly, so you don't hook yourself) go to an area with no trees or obstruction for a long ways around and start playing around with it. 2 basic rule arm your forearm should ONLY move from 10-2 o'clock and don't bend your wrist.
Go for a very gradual movement, nothing jerky and eventually you will start to fel the weight of the line and yarn as it pulls on the rod. As you pulll line out, off the reel, you let the line slip through your fingers that are holding the rod. The more line the "slower" the rod movement is. You use just enough to keep the line in the air. When the loop that is coming forward on your forward cast is like a tight sideways U, your getting real close.
If your here a snap like a whip that is not right, Fly tyers like that sound, it keeps ya comin back for more flies
Mainly your cast should be slow and graceful. I'm sure I
you and there will be much better instruction to come. Once ya get it you will enjoy the action very much, then you get to learn how to tie your own flies!!!!
