Welcome to forum Skip! I started fly fishing in 2009 and I can't cast either.  |

Welcome to the forum Skip. I started fly fishing on a regular basis in 1998 or 99. Can't cast either, just hope I look good. Like building a hot rod, if it ain't fast, lots of chrome.
As far as fly tying, I tie my share of cripples.

Welcome, Skip - I cast so well in my own mind that I amaze myself. In reality, I still can't double haul well and that costs me dearly on the water!

Well Skip you have heard from all the other loud mouths on this board I may as well join the ranks. First and foremost welcome to the club. I know if you stay active with this motley crew you are going to have a lot of good fun. As for my casting, I cast like a celebrity (doesn't matter which one you pick ............so long as their dead) As Krebs said we will offer tons of opinions, mine " don't use Troutking as a wading buddy!"  Look forward to hearing more from you in the future. |

Well Sir: I am a older fella myself (63) I joined last year. This is a great Organization. You will be happy you joined. I lived about 1 and half hours driving time South of Lafayette in Brazil IN. Looking forward to fishing with you. I love to hunt and fish. I never have learned to do some of the cast correctly like Speying but I managed to get a above average catches than most. I make rods and flies to sell as well as use myself. Helps supplement my income. I hope to be FFF a certified casting instructor soon. I'm still learning to do some 100 yard casts. Before I test out. Also TFF will be have a casting class in a few weeks which I am sure can help anyone. Welcome aboard sir!
