I like to watch videos of guys just getting into fly fishing. I am also new to it as of the past year, but if I could give you some feedback that helped me out a ton in developing my limited fly fishing skills. I would try standing directly downstream of your intended target area and casting up to it when possible, instead of across. You will get much better casts, spook much less fish, catch less trees, better control your drifts, and be in a much better position to set the fly on a fish as it should be done in a direction of the flow of water. Also, don't be too concerned with your overhead casting as I was. Firstly, focus on waterloading/waterhauling your cast. Then as you progress and start to watch how the fly line behaves in these casts, naturally you will start to feel what your overhead cast should feel like. Lastly, (and this is just what I did) when I first started just over a year ago, I made myself on the first outing leave my beautiful and pricey spinning combo at home so I would not resort to it and would be forced to use to fly rod. I did not catch fish, but I learned a lot. The second time, I couldn't keep the fish off. From then on, I've beaten my PB wild trout here in Utah 3 times in one year ranging from 22in-24in and 20in fish on the dot with frequency. Now, I know these size fish are nothing to write home about when you're out there chasing 20lb steelhead lol, but they are still trout and the tactics will help just the same. Good luck and I just subscribed, so I hope I get to see you document your progress and success as well failures that may come! 👍🏾💪🏾

Wow thanks for all the tips! I appreciate it! I'm going to give that a try on my next outing. You're right I should have left the spinning outfit at home. It's not about the size of the fish but the love for the sport that matters. But we still wouldn't mind landing and releasing a big beauty! Thanks for watching!
