Greetings from the far Northern Coast of CA!
Well, Dave and Mark who both post here came up and fished with me recently. They have cursed me for life now by allowing me to cast their two-handers. Who knew it was going to affect me this way?
It's time to wade in on my own and learn to use my right hand, too. Got some good lessons from these fellows, but I'm on my own now and once again I feel like a little kid who just doesn't quite know which end is which.
My question? Just how much can I be expected to learn "on my own"? I know that the optimal way to learn would be to hire a guide or teacher - maybe buy some books or videos, but with a young family, it's just going to be me, the rod, the river, and the Steelhead. Maybe I won't be able to learn the fanciest of the casts, but I should be able to get along... right?
BTW, I have been single-hand fly fishing for Steelhead the past few years after pursuing inland Trout most of my life. Just have to get that extra hand in there, though =)
