The bottom line is....any solid instruciton will help anybody. I attended a casting class after years of flyfishing, simply because I wanted to see omething formal...somthing I may be missing. I can honestly say that session didn't teach me much of anything about "casting"....but the instructor did show me something he did on "pickups". Something I adopted & still use today. Everybody has the capacity to learn:^) As with tying....a good solid foundation is the best start. Either by a knowledgable mentor....or an instructor.
