Went to McNealy lake and gave the fly thing a try today. Lastnight I watched VERy informative videos about casting and put it to use today. I know i am still doing something wrong as i was out there for an hour and have a blister on my casting thumb. I keep hitting the water behind me on the back cast as well.

BUt I did finally figure out how toget teh foy out where i want it but 20-30 ft is about the end of my range... luckily a small patch of cover was nearby to cast to... so i caught my first fly fish... 2 bluegill on a betts bream madness, and one on what was left of a popper after i had casted so bad that the cork was busted off and it became a sinkin fly... fightin even a small gill is fun on this thing...

I did learn the hard way that i need a hemostat as i lost a fly to the tiny mouth of the bluegill...
