Advice For the Beginner:
1. If you are just getting started fly-fishing, first and foremost don't be
intimidated by those who want you to believe that fly-fishing is difficult to
learn and master. It is not. Casting is not difficult, selecting flies is not
difficult, the rigging involved in not difficult, and hooking and fighting fish on
fly tackle is not difficult. It may take some time and practice but anyone can
do it. Those who want you to believe otherwise are merely legends in their
own mind.
2. Don't be fooled into taking lessons or attending fly-fishing schools from
anyone whose main purpose is to sell you something other than the school
itself such as fly gear, trips to destinations or services of any nature.
3. Don't purchase any gear until you know something about it - fly rods,
reels, lines, flies, etc. Don't rely solely on salesmen who want to tell you
what you need. Learn a few basics of fly-fishing before you start spending
money on gear or trips.
4. Read all the fly-fishing books and magazine articles you can find for the
beginner.
5. Study our fly-fishing DVDs in the order we recommend. We call this "Fly
