Ghost Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I got the lad Fly Rod and stuff a few years ago, along with books and dvd's but he found the best way to learn is just to get someone experienced to teach you and get out there in amongst it Blue.

Thrax Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Theres a really good book that will help called "Fly Fishing" by J.R. Hartley should check it oot! I'm smart and I want respect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boozehound Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I tried it when I was younger but just didn't have the patience for it as it's something that requires a lot of practice. Best way to learn casting is round your back garden or a bit of waste ground, casting with no fly attached. Actually catching fish is a nightmare though as there's so many things to take into account so trying to buddy up with someone who has good knowledge of the local fisheries is a must. An internet fud is still a fud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mentalton Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Got a fly rod for my bday. Having never tried it before Im not really sure how the best way is to learn. Anyone on here have any suggestions, hints etc? Thanks in advance get yourself down to Middleton fishery in largs, they will give you all the help you need with casting etc, cost you a tenner for catch and release or 11.50 for a 1 fish ticket. Guys are really helpful if you tell them you are a newbie, ive fished it for years and very rarely dont catch, and , its better than orgasm when you hook the first one on the surface.
