Do not let your expectations get too high. It can be difficult for a beginner to land a fish with a FR. Have you ever played Golf? Fly fishing is similar in that it takes a lot of time to get proficient. (Pro FISH ent) Ha ! Anyway, you might watch a bait caster next to you reel in one after another some days. And cannot find a fly they will take. Then other days , Especially during a hatch. And you got the right Fly. You can way out fish the bait caster next to you. That is going to be a rare occasion IMHO! But that certainly makes days like that very special. Especially if you Tie the flies that you are catching fish on ! At roughly $2.00 apiece, Buying them can get into some $$$.

There are a lot of instruction videos online nowadays. And scuds of good books. Get you a book and read it over, and do a lot of yard casting. When you think you are ready, Practice some more! When you do take it to the river. It might be a very Humbling experience But it can also be a great way to spend the day!
