Bill, and Rick,I agree with you both. Just because you are a good caster with a single handed rod you may not be very good with a two handed rod. It takes practice and some one that is good enough to spot the faults that you will make.
Rick got me started and I love casting the two handers. There is so much more to it that there is dange of becoming very frustrated. For me I have to think about most of the cast that I make.
I find that practice has to be without a fly on the leader. As soon as I put a fly on I think more about fishing than casting.
Fishing with the two handed rod has me excited about fishing winter fish again. I was drifting away from fly fishing during the winter, but now my jucies are flowing aging.
Another way to learn is to find a friend and learn together. Or have a friend to help, it is great if that friend has equipment that they will let you use. Better if the rod is a virgin.
Fishing is always good, the catching may not be.
