My recommendation is to rent a video on fly casting or go with someone that is experienced. There are to many questions to answer. The biggest mistake people make when they are starting out is to try and throw to much line. The distance will come as your technique gets better. A good way to practice is stand sideways and cast across the front of you watching your 10 to 2 action of your fly rod tip, do not break your wrist. Use floating line at first and tie a little piece of yarn on to represent a fly, so if you hit yourself you don't get hooked. remember to rent the videos, you can save yourself alot of time and frustration. BE PATIENT everyone started out in the same boat.
