Guest DV8 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Good luck troutboy Have a lesson with someone who knows what they are doing. I was fortunate enough to have a lesson with Steve Williamson in Jindabyne. He just made sure I didn't pick up any bads habits. Keep the wrist straight is all I can tellyou and have faith in the fly. The temptation is to strip it back too fast at first and start your next cast too early. Like fishing with HB's and SP's it is not unusual to have a fish hit right at your feet. Forget about it if you are learning with the wind up, and practice where there is no trees. davo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
