Naw, after you find that pause as you go to let line out you should be "golden". I'm sure you will do well as this was the 1st time I tried the rood 'n reel and felt okay with it. youtube is your friend when it comes to new casting styles and tips... I can't wait for your first post (mine to, but I need to find time to use this additional tool too) when you land a fish. HAVE FUN. Geoff Also: as long as your not "antiqueing" because you have too and use the "pill" to make "antiqueing" go away, it's all good, right?

Your post got me thinking of the fly rod and reel I have from my father. It's very old and I need to upgrade the reel for sure (as it's from the 70's or older) and hasn't been serviced since. In fact, never used... So I don't know what line to use on this rod and what reel to pair it up with but I took it out back (with the old reel and old line) to see if I could cast it. I was shocked that it wasn't that hard to do. Maybe that's because I fish many ways and the motion (incl the pause) is like the way I.... whip a golf club but that's neither here nor there. I just want to thank you for your post as it got me up off my to try something I didn't think I would be able to do. Now I can't wait to try it out fishing on the boat, river or any place. Thanks. Geoff

BTW, thanks Brian. I didn't know, no joke...

Wow, I didn't know hunting was about looking for the odd bearded lady!

I don't hunt but never knew there was 3 diff sex of these birds. Male, female and IT. Huh, who knew?

JP, did the folks at Overhaulin' get your trailer and pimp it out with some 20" FOOSE wheels?!?!?! Damn nice rig you have there JP.

congrats to the winners.

May 14th if I read the regs right last time I looked...

No wonder I didn't find him, he was back home by 1:20... Just messing with ya Mike. I wouldn't have pushed you in the river. I may have however tried to trip you up a bit but never push...

Then if I see him (as that's where I'll be soon) I'll toss him in the river for the crazy amount of fishing he does...

Do it, throw a rock! Ya might hit MTB, LOL!

I see it now, thanks. I ask as I have never fished there as I'm sure there are many others here too that haven't.

LOL, thanks!

where is the damn dam anyway?
