As a raw beginner to fly fishing there are some hurdles to overcome. You will have many days when you wish you had a friend available to take you fishing because you don‘t know enough to take yourself. You aren’t sure of what equipment to use. You don’t know what to do with the equipment. You can spend hundreds of dollars per day to pay someone to take you and show you what to do and lend you equipment. That wasn’t my way to learn.
