For conversations sake, do you agree or disagree with this old saw? That fisherman would have been better off spending more money on flycasting lesson and less on his fly rod. Do you think you are a good fly caster? If yes, how do you know? If not, do you plan to improve and how? I have a house on a popular fly fishing river and seldom see many good flycasters floating by.
Most often, what I see are fisherman relentlessly false casting and drifing their fly maybe one second before lifting and resuming false casting. I seldom see them hook fish, since the fish does not have enough time to take the fly before it is picked up. What do you think about these topics?
