Good fly casting is bases on sound mechanics. You tube the 5 essentials of fly casting, this will give you the how, but time practicing is the only way to perfect it. I' Ve been fly fishing for close to 40 yrs. and I spend lots of time practicing my casting. Just like a golfer would go to the driving range. When you practice use a piece of yarn instead of a fly. Never try and practice casting and fish at the same time when starting out.
