You can take this with a pinch of salt, after all I wrote the darn thing, but in all seriousness if you want to learn to fly cast in short order I think that this book will help you. It has helped loads of others and I have received positive feedback from as far afield as Denmark.

If tuition has failed you in the past, the clock system of teaching left you with so many bad habits that you can't fling your twist of fur and feather with sufficient skill to catch some trout and you are frustrated with the way things are, read this.

If you not only read it but follow the exercises I will virtually guarantee you that you will find casting far easier and fishing far more pleasurable as a result.
