top 7 tips

1.Make sure you always look behind you when casting flys are easy to stick to peoples clothes and are easier to attach to clothes than most fly fishing gear.

2.No slack line-or you will lose the fish!


3.if the waters clear stalk the fish and look for your prey.

4.alternate your flies-dont stick with one.

5.dont just stick to one type of water try lakes,rivers and reservoirs.

6.experiment-thats up to you

7.travel-not just the country

8. have fun

note:all descriptions are below the website not above

i hope it gets stickied

Thank you for the links, carping on - i'm sure they'll come in handy. You never know - one day i might need it but i highly doubt because as you know - i'm prone to sea fishing but for those who do fly fish or want to start - nice post!
And i see how you've started decorating them!
