I got a pretty good false cast going, but when i go to let the fly settle it comes up way short of where i was hoping. I have already figured out how to let line through my left hand as i am false casting to get more line out... and practiced some roll casting... this isnt as hard as i thought it would be... now i just wish i had someone who could critique me as i cast cuz i am sure i am doin something wrong...

and the cheapo fly didnt last 10 casts... started coming apart... so i went and bought some slightly better but stil cheapo betts flies at walmart...
Ask Boone for a copy of the DVD I loaned him. It will help get you started out right.
