Fly casting in the salt from a boat or in the surf poses certain problems. The boat is moving. The wind is blowing and seldom to our advantage. I transitioned from fresh water fishing into the salt ten years ago. The first obstacle for a trout fisherman is that salt water fish are not stationary. They move constantly, and the fly has to be placed where they are going to be not where they are. Now speed of delivery becomes a must and you have one good window of opportunity to place your fly correctly. The second is distance and 50´ casts are a bare minimum to consistently catch salt water fish. We like to say that every 10´ in addition will double your chances. The third problem is the wind. When it blows from our non dominant to our dominant shoulder (left to right for most folks) we are happy. However wind from our dominant to non dominant shoulder poses problems. Headwind poses another and a different sort of problem. Tailwind has its own issues for the caster. Will provide high end rods for lessons – included in price.
