A worthy accomplishment. One step at a time, no matter what the endeavour. Patience and persistence.

Thanks Mr. Dick. The truth is, fly fishing is about all there is remaining for me to spend fishing money on!

Allen - The rod is a fiberglass model, from the eighties. I dont know the weight because it is not labeled like that. It is actually a spin-fly rod, so my assumption it is average weighted, probably 5 wt.-ish.

I'm planning to get a 5wt., forward weighted line soon. Ive got some 4x tapered leaders on the way, so the line is next.

Carl- it is coming back to me. What I need to do is let it flow.... when I do that, the line lays out nice, the leader unloads just right.

Jim - thanks, buddy.

hahaha david-- you will catch on to it buddy;; it just takes a little time..  don't forget to load the rod as you try to make a cast-- it helps!!

As soon as you get a chance, try to upgrade your line to a weight-forward Bass Taper. Little heavier taper, easier to cast.  What weight rod do you have?  Is it a stiff graphite, or a limber glass rod?

Thanks for looking fellas.
Catching ANYTHING on a fly at this point is golden.
