Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} What's the best way to learn fly fishing?

Orvis runs free Fly Fishing 101 classes. They'll give you a great kick start. Several people here also help put on (free) "Casting Church" on the weekends at Fletchers to help people with casting.

That'll get you started on casting. I don't know how much fishing background you have in general, but if you also need to learn how to fish (not just cast), a couple days with a guide will give you a great base. Then just keep experimenting. Trial and error is awesome for fishing.

I bought essentially the full gear package a few years ago while dating a girl who knew how to fly fish, but it's all just been collecting dust!  

I just need to get out there and learn but I need a strategy.  Do I pay for one of these week-long courses?  I had another fly fishing friend who lived in DC but is now in Texas... so that doesn't help.

Any advice would be appreciated!
