Sounds good, and thanks for the advice. It was encouraging that on my first two casts I got hits, and my third cast I caught a little large mouth bass ;). I've been out around 4 times now, and so far am loving it.

I probably wouldn't rate my casting as very good. I've only just started fly fishing a couple of weeks ago, so a lot of it probably has to do with my technique. I'm mainly using dry flies with a tapered leader by the way.

So to connect my fly line to my leader, I'm using the normal nail knot. Unfortunately from time to time my leader line will snag itself on the knot itself, and completely tangle itself up. If there anything I can do to prevent that from happening?

Thank you very much Spydeyrch, I'm viewing them now :)

FYI, I also just found some through "Trails".

I'm a very visual person, and find videos to be one of the best ways for me to learn something. I've watched all the youtube videos done by tightlinesflyshop, and really enjoyed them. However I was looking for some other similarly well done fly fishing videos that may be of some benefit to a...

I'll definitely check that out and take it into consideration. Sounds like a pretty good deal. One question I do have is pertaining to reels yet again. I was in Bi-mart dinking around with a couple of the reels they carry and trying to get a feel for them. While I do like the Okuma Sierra, I...

I was wondering if that was also an option. Thank you :) Going back to my original question about those numbers (105/12, 160/20, ect) which "size" would be a good starter? I hope to do mainly some trout fishing, and probably doing it mostly on streams and rivers.

Well I stopped into Bi-mart to poke around for a bit, and the guy working in sporting goods was too busy to help me...so I'm going to bring my question to you. While I was there, I noticed that 3 out of 4 of the fly reels they had out on display, were set up for you to turn the reel with your...

Thank you for the helpful advice, I really appreciate it. When I was originally looking up gear selection, it was looking like I'd have to spend a couple hundred dollars to get anything worth having. I don't have a ton of money to spare so saving some money is really helpful, and it's nice to...

While looking for fly reels through amazon, I came across one that was suggested, here... Amazon.com: Okuma Sierra Fly Reel: Sports & Outdoors Due to my overall ignorance, I'm not sure what the size numbers mean exactly (105/12, 150/20, 160/20, ect), and I was wondering if somebody could...
