A great way to get a feel for throwing the line is to go to a park and set up some targets,, then get a feel of the line going out and/or travelling behind you. It's a real zen type of fishing, and it's not as simple as learning how to flick a lure out with a spinning rod. Pick a park day where theres a bit of wind or a tree as an obstacle,, learn how to throw the line with a cross wind or back wind or into the wind,, it takes time and more time to learn on the river/lake and adding in all those factors. And if you are down around Cowgary, post that you're heading down as I'm sure there are plenty of people more than willing to give you a day of tips and maybe a fish or two.
