going for my first try of fly fishing sat or sunday at golden ponds and was wonderin if any fly fisherman on this site would come down and give me some tips
If you want proper lessons, Chris at Flyworld does them.
I would suggest if you want to try it out to go to the park and practice first, before worrying about putting a hook on the end :p. With golden ponds, you'll probably only need to flop the line out a bit, instead of big casts. I think the fish there may prefer pellets so dont know how much you can expect.
Two useful tips: www.sexyloops.com, and if you want to try the motion out, dont laugh, but the top half of a light rod and some brickie string works indoors, hahaha.
Cant remember how much they cost, but its just in the park near his shop (Bayswater). Can work on whatever you want. He'll give you tips/techniques to fish whatever you're chasing too.
For golden ponds, its probably worth getting a wooly bugger or similar. Again Chris would be able to help you out on a couple of flies that would work. Otherwise, try Bluewater Melville and talk to Rohan or David Bell. I assume golden ponds would have some flies with the rental gear, but when they're less than $2 each, may as well get new ones + advice?
