Thanks to everyone who made it out this morning. It was a full crowd, and
we saw lots of improvement across the board.
 
Several people asked about practicing. I always practice on grass, and I
use a 9' 0X tapered leader (look for sales on these and stock up). I've
personally found two or three twenty-minute sessions per week to be much
more helpful than saving up for one ninety-minute session. And it's a good
idea to focus on just one or two skills per session.
 
If you aren't sure which skills to start with or what to work on next, I've
attached the quick reference guide from Fly Fishers International. It's got
a good progression to work through, and I've found that many of these
skills actually help me catch more fish because I have the tools to present
my fly in different situations.
 
Best,
Owen Williams
 
P.S. I'm always collecting good instructional videos of casting techniques,
so please send those to the forum when you come across something that
clicks for you. Here's one on the "wiggle cast" that I showed to June today
for negotiating conflicting currents: https://youtu.be/wcJtSEjYUog
