>>1391563you can make it work, most casts are under 40 feet, im just curious what weight it is. if its a 2 weight you're going to be wishing you had a bigger rod constantly. if it's a 3, 4, or 5 weight you will do fine catching bluegill and small bass, perfect for a beginner. ideally i'd say a 4 for a bluegill rod.

>spend time practicing casting>spend time on the waterif your question is much more literal, get a 4, 5. or 6 weight, some foam dry flies, small streamers, and soft hackles. fish for bluegill and bass, worst case scenario it's casting practice. don't worry about catching fish, worry about being in control of your cast and putting your fly where you want it. once your fly is going where you need it to go and doing what you want it to do you just have to figure out what the fish like, and when they like it. take notes, describe the weather, water temprature, location, fly, and presentation. write it all and then read it when you get home. you now have a pattern for what to do (for example) in 55 degree water just after a cold front/rain and dirty water.
