There are many great points being made as well as some ideas. They are all appreciated. My main issue is that I live in an area that is overwhelmingly gear fishing oriented and I struggle to find local resources to help improve facets of my casting. (I meet many people very curious about this 'fly fishing thing'...but I never have to worry about getting crowded out!) Everything I have come by(right or wrong!) so far is self-taught. There is satisfaction in that alone, but I am simply always on the lookout for new ways to learn and improve Thanks again for all the input!
