Never too old - good for you for taking an interest. I agree that taking some casting lessons from a reputable shop is a great place to start. Some of us are "self taught" - I didn't have my first casting lesson with a qualified instructor until 30 years into my flyfishing time - but it was amazing how those lessons straightened out some long-practiced bad habits. I would also say that the other best thing to do is read, read, and read some more - from the classics (e.g., "Masters on the Nymph" was a seminal one for me, as was Charlie Brooks' "Nymph Fishing for Larger Trout"; Gary Lafontaine's books; etc.) to the wealth of great stuff available today on-line. I have found that keeping a good fishing diary has also been very helpful as a learning tool (particularly for those of us whose memory may not be quite what it used to be), particularly from year to year - noting not only whether you caught any fish on a particular outing, but other helpful observations such as insect activity, water conditions, weather, etc.

Definitely not. All the major fly shops do lessons, highly recommend Iron Bow and Kevin Peterson

Yep just past the direct link in the post

Change your drive mode on the camera to "burst" or "continuous" then hold the button down and move the camera a little when it's underwater. Out of 20 frames you'll probably get at least a couple keepers. Spray and pray.
