Corkie...try giving Kaufmann's a call...I think I might still have the basics book I used to teach myself way back when....I plan on takin my flyrod up on the clack next week also.

Here is another vote for Kaufmanns...I took their fly school two summers ago...class is around $100.00 and includes a day at the Wilderness Lakes in Canby...

My buddy said that he didn't need lessons and could teach himself...probably should have learned the right way...although I really enjoy the comedy as he whip-snaps off his flys or catches trees or catches grass or... :grin:

You could call River City fly shop as well for beginner info...they are in Beaverton (little closer maybe).
