The First Cast, Hook Line and Sinker's Fly Fishing Shop

This is the second beginner fly fishing course I have taken, the first 10+ years ago through a different store in the area. With Aaron the instructor I found this course much more informative. It is one thing to learn basic casting but just as important is to learn how to read the river to get an understanding of were the fish may be, how to check what the fish could be feeding on and river etiquette. I feel a lot more competent this time that I could get out on the water on my own. Aaron was more than helpful in discussing various pros and cons of what is needed to start fly fishing without breaking the bank. Ray was very helpful in the store concerning what he would recommend and helping with any purchases. The follow up “E” mail concerning your strong and weak points and hints to improve was a nice touch. I highly recommend First Cast, if you decide to take up fly fishing you just may start a long beneficial relationship with the staff at First Cast. Though I may be one and a half hours away, if I continue fly fishing this will be my “go to store”. Thanks Aaron and Ray.

A buddy and me took a shot at this place the other day, driving 45 min to go to the shop without any prior knowledge. I am fairly new to fly fishing and the level of direction I received was spectacular! Very helpful and apparent that he took interest in teaching to the "new guys". I will definitely be returning whenever passing through the area! Highly recommend!

They know there stuff but the prices are significantly higher then other stores in the region. Not to mention the few times that I have been there the Owner in particular can be very arrogant. The sense of entitlement needs to be worked on here. Humble yourself and you will retain more customers from all budgets not just the upper middle class and the rich. Thanks,

Being a fly fisherman, i can only comment on the fly half of the store - well stocked with everything you need, and good quality.
