An hour or two spent with a qualified instructor or someone experienced
enough to give you the required advice can make a world of difference.
Casting with a salmon rod isn't difficult; but it is a skill that has to
be learned. Better by far to be taught by someone who knows what they're
talking about.

As Hywel Morgan points out, there would be better flyfishermen around
if everyone first learned to cast using a salmon rod. They would have to
learn to let the rod do the work and take their time. It would be no
use thrashing about trying to force the rod - it just won't work.

Casting is NOT difficult, the angler must /feel/ what's happening with
the line.
