Can any one tell me if there are any casting instructors that visit this site? Or can anyone recommend some good instructors in the Golden Horse Shoe area.

That must of been a great experience.  Did you have to do a course before getting out on track? How much time do you get behind the wheel?

Fishing was a hobby at first but then someone showed me what a steelhead was and now it's game over.

Wonderful, if i may ask do you fly fish or do you use a float setup? I use to fish for bass, pike and muskie for many years ( more then i want to tell ) lol. But have recently decided to return to the sport and will dedicate myself to the "fly".There is something about it that just seems so right to me.

Right now I'm using a float set up but I recently purchased my first fly rod and can't wait to learn in the spring!
