In our world of instant gratification, it's easy to get ahead of ourselves when we begin a new endeavor. We want to take shortcuts, skim the literature, ignore details that seem insignificant (or boring). But in this episode, Jason and his guest, Chuck Kaminski, explain why it's crucial to have a good command of the basic skills in fly fishing if you want to progress as an angler. We identify common issues, explain why they're a problem, and offer practical advice and resources to help you start off your fly fishing journey right--or (for some of us), brush up on skills we might be rusty on (or just plain overlooked).
