HEY!! CHOPPED LIVER!! These are evening sessions at Backwoods Equipment Co at 123rd & N. May. in OKC. I have a spare bedroom at CW. There is a tying session, I think tomorrow night. I will check in the morning and give you a call.
My wife apparently doesn't want me around and has provided me another expensive hobby to get into for my birthday: Fly Fishing. She got me a Wild Water 5/6 weight fly rod with some flies, case, and leader. I look forward to the frustration brought on by the learning process of casting.
Fly fishing is a different addiction altogether for sure. You have to get used to casting the LINE as opposed to, with spinning or baitcasting, casting a LURE.
Best tips I can think of are to try not to cast with your wrist, and don't speed up your casting stroke as you go from false-casting to final cast.
When a person learns to feel the rod load on the back cast, their cast will start improving. I think it's easier, for someone who has never fly fished, to learn to cast, than someone who has a fishing background.
