I love fishing, so I thought that taking a fly casting class this semester would be fun. IT WAS A LIE!!!!! This is one of the most stressful, worst classes I have ever taken in my life! I suck. I just absolutely suck at fly casting. For whatever reason, even though I'm doing exactly what the teacher told me the line still either falls in a bunch at my feet, or tangles horribly. Last time I hit myself in the face several times with the yarn we use a fly; if there really was a fly on that I would have lost my eyelids by now!
I dunno what to do. I suck at it so bad, and the evaluation where I have to stand in front of the teacher and the whole class to demonstrate every cast is on thursday and I'm so screwed. Maybe I'm just too short. The rod is 9 feet long and I'm only barely 5 feet, more like 4'11 and a half, just about everyone else in the class is a whole foot taller than me! I don't like it, I don't like it one bit.
So here is my miserable, yet humorous sketch of me hating my life because I was stupid and took a horrible class.

It's a very sensory way of fishing. You have to kind of let go of the traditional notion of casting, where you kind of strong-arm the lure to where you need it, whereas with fly fishing, you have to try and feel the line through the rod. Don't try to go too fast, and keep every action one fluid motion.
