The 60 Year Old Virgin

Well, at least in terms of trying to learn FF a little late in the game, anyway...

Been threatening to try it every season for the last 20 years or so but never made good on it - not like I'm working on my bucket list, but I thought I'd like to try to add something new to my repertoire

Picked up a 9' 9wt Loomis GL3 for short money recently and figured it was worth a shot. Iron Mike gave me a Battenkill a few years back, think it has sinking line on it - also won a flybox stuffed with probably 50 or 60 SW flies a few years back from the Other Site and they probably cover all the styles from Clousers and Deceivers thru bunker, mullet and shrimp flies.

I've always had lots of tying materials in my tackle room and have read a number of books -

Had one casting lesson maybe a dozen years ago - anybody got any recommendation for a geezer noobie?

I guess maintaining my ability to laugh at myself should be pretty near the top...

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
