      Remember that you are casting the line not the lure. The line has all of the weight not the fly also check out YouTube that's how I learned!

      Also, fly fishing doesn't require that you must cast as far as physically possible outward. Most of the fish you catch will be less than 15 yards from your location.

      When getting ready to cast keep your rod back at a 10 degree angle and then flick the wrist forward to a 2 degree angle. Repeat this process until enough line is ...more out for comfortable casting.

      ...and learn the Roll Casts. Go to orvis.com, watch the vids and watch YouTube vids.

      LOTS of practice! Learn the basics before you even take it out on the water! It's not hard, but practice is key. Tie on a small piece of yarn to act as your ...more "fly". Learn the forward and back casts....
