Like that NIKE commercial...Just Do It! I would say when the winds are light or you'll get frustrated with it quickly! Watch videos..plenty out there. Read books, plenty of those too! I learned probably the wrong way, by just tying and flying at a certain middle fork river in Colorado! Eventually I gained more confidence and hired a guide to take me to some private waters, and low and behold...he schooled me some! Go figure? I guess it depends on how into you seriously want to try it! There are some here that you can hire...which I'd recommend. Kinda like golf...develope those bad habits and they're hard to get rid of!

You should have come to the fly fishing expo a few weeks ago, Capt Steve was giving casting lessons.

The Shallowist, aka Captain Steve Soule, also gives private lessons and they're pretty reasonable! I've been wanting to learn too.
