I’ve heard mixed reviews on parachute adams. Some say they don’t float well. What’s your experience with them in local waters?
I’ve caught plenty with them, honestly! The key is to treat them with floatant. That’s always made a difference for me. Have you tried that?
Exactly, dpearson! And if you’re confident in your casting, you can seriously improve your catch rate. It’s all about being adaptable on the water!

The Triangle Fly Fishers often host events and classes. I learned a ton at their casting clinics last summer. Check their calendar for updates!

Thanks for the tip, Emily! Are these classes for different skill levels, or just for beginners?

Yes, they usually cater to all skill levels! They even have a women’s fly fishing weekend coming up, perfect for networking.
I’ve heard about fly fishing tournaments around NC, especially at Lake Fontana. Does anyone know when the next one is?
There’s a tournament on April 15th! It’s hosted by a local club, and they often have beginner categories! Great chance to learn and compete!
That sounds thrilling! Is there a way to register online or do I need to show up in person?

I believe you can register on the club’s website. Just make sure to check the rules; they can be strict on techniques!
I love the community vibe at these events! It’s a fun way to meet people who share your love for fly fishing.
Absolutely! And remember to bring snacks! Nothing like telling fishing tales over good food!
