Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Looking to trade info/instruction/trips

Pete - first, keep an eye out for posts from John Bilotta regarding the FREE casting sessions that he is gracious enough to offer at Fletcher's periodically. He mostly focuses on 2-handed rods, but he's happy to work with single handed rods as well. I think he also offers private lessons at a reasonable rate, but you'd have to ask him about that. 

Also, Orvis offers casting classes (the 101 is free, I think there's a cost for the 201). Some of hte Orvis guys should be able to provide more info on that. 

And, as Jeff said, search the forums and get out there and fish!

I am a longtime tournament bass angler with the glitter boat and garage full of tackle to prove it. Despite the fact that I work in the fishing industry, I feared the fly rod and strategically avoided it for 30+ years. That changed on a recent trip to Montana, where my wife and I floated the Bitterroot for two days and fell in love with the sport.

While I had great mentors in the bass fishing arena, I don't know where to start when it comes to fly fishing. Would love to become reasonably proficient in time to take another trip out west next year and would appreciate any thoughts on the best way to get there, whether that be through casting lessons, a fishing club, etc. Also willing to trade bass fishing trips for trout instruction. In addition to local options, I work for an outfitter on the best bass lake in Mexico and have some flexibility to trade out trips there.
