[font "Garamond"][#008000][size 4]Well with all those illustrations yours truly hit the water running. Prior to buying a rod & reel, I had seen some folks on the local waters making fly casting look so easyyyyyy. If you haven't got a clue as to how to cast, then easy is not a good choice of words. So I went back to the fly shop and got some friendly instructions to at least get me started on my next trip to the river.[/size][/#008000][/font]
[font "Garamond"][#008000][size 4]So my fellow fly anglers, how did you first get started fly casting?[/size][/#008000][/font]
