I think I'm scheduled to be out of town that weekend. If not I will attend.
Chalk, to help your casting try a wrist lock, it should help you some

Just get one of those closed bungee cords with the balls on the end put on your wrist give it a twist and loop over the end of the rod. It sounds odd but it really helps.

:thumbup: :thumbup: Special Note: Those of you that have a serious desire of getting into flyfishing, here is your chance to be trained by some of the best! Some of these guys trained me as a Tadpole back in the early 80's! So, if I can do it...you can do it!!! :lick: This is excellent timing, because my beginning-intermediate saltwater flyfishing class will be at the NFGFC next's meeting date 7/19/07! I will not cover fly casting other than some most basic moves due to limited space and time, so sign up, folks! :smt007
