How much fly line?

May well be so with the folks you fish with, but I teach people to
avoid trees when casting.

teaching, and actually fishing practice are two different things, especially
on overgrown New England brooks,
and tight mountain streams in the Eastern US. Plus, I was
trying to introduce you to the concept of a sense of humor.

Seems Wolfgang was indeed right about Dickie, just another
pathological ****bag.

actually, I think he was trying to inject a bit of his own brand of humor
into the situation. My recommendation would be to either chuckle or ignore
it. To do otherwise
might make you appear pompous, bitter, or both......

Good teaching automatically results in good pupils. When it is
possible to give people a set of basic skills before they set off on
their angling/life journey, they tend to enjoy it more and also become
better and better at it, the better they become, the more they enjoy
it. I have taught hundreds, in fact it is certainly thousands now, to
cast and angle, and quite a few to dress flies as well. This also
brings a great deal of satisfaction. Not quite the same as fishing,
but rewarding nonetheless.

Obviously I appear pompous here, quite a few people have said so, and
I have no reason to doubt them. Unfortunately, I have not the
slightest idea what I might do about it.......................

Bitter? I don´t think so.
