Hi all,
Just joined the site and wondered if anyone knows of good practice waters near State College?
Im looking for somewhere i can try and improve different casts without:
A) bothering experienced fly fishermen
B) getting snagged on obstructions
C) catching anything!
I just want to improve my techniques before taking a class in Spring and then getting more involved in the intricacies of fly selection etc.
To give some background, i moved here from UK couple years back where i was entirely a sea angler. Here I've been mostly fishing small waters with 4lb line and spinners. From what i hear, this is one of THE places for fly fishing so seems remiss not to try and learn!
Ill be using a 6'6 1960s rod my father in law had lying around and ive put on wf6f line, 4x leader and tippet with a muddler minnow on the end. (Ill be buying proper equipment once i know a bit more about what suits the area best)
Thanks all,
Colin
