Lures are usually big, size 8 or 10 and in gaudy colours such as lime green, orange, white, black and lime.(Cat's whisker, whiskey fly, blobs, viva, tadpole fly)

A Diawl Bach (Little Devil) is a skimpy little fly fished subsurface usually on stillwaters.

Before you start casting, I suggest you have some practice sessions on grass.

When actually fishing, you need to protect your eyes and head. I wear sunglasses and a hat. The path of the fly through the air can be difficult to control when beginning fly fishing, a faulty back cast could result in the fly hitting the angler at high speed.

Initially I would use leaders no longer than the length of the rod, and would avoid those large flies which are weighted with lead or big gold beads.

hi there i would agree with keora try casting on the grass and dont worry about casting to far to start with. try the roll cast as well it can help when your arm is tied which water are you going to try first what area are you insee you really need some one to show you a bit then you,ll pick it up quicker. ive been at this sport for quite a time now and im still learning. oh try not to buy cheap lines as this will p1ss you off line will start to tangle and twist when re casting buy a cortland or a platinum grey 5wt floating its the grey line. I float tube alot all over the world, its the best fishing ever
