1. When learning to cast, a longer rod is usually
an easier tool. Do not try fishing in confined spaces
until you cast instinctively, e.g. can place your fly on
within 6 inches accuracy at a range of 40 feet without
even thinking about.

Um, I don't even think I can do that, and I manage to catch some fish
sometimes.
