Problem: Article: Fly fishing rods are as good as you pay for so it's important to know how often you will be using your rod and what skill level you are at before purchasing a fly fishing rod. While high-performance rods can help you, it may be helpful to wait until your casting skills have improved in order to reap the full benefits of an expensive rod. Beginners can choose inexpensive rods made of graphite, fiberglass, or bamboo. Price will reflect better materials and high-performance rods are better suited for experienced fisherman or people who plan to fly fish often. High quality rods can make casting easier which is imperative when fly fishing. Fly rods may come in 2, 3, or 4 pieces. Most beginners use a 2 piece while more seasoned fisherman use a 4 piece as it can be broken down and easily carried on airplanes. Cast the line to mimic the movement of live prey. The presentation of your lure will depend on the type of fish with the rod and line working seamlessly to create specific movements. Movements can range from mimicking insects to frogs. Use 6 - 8 foot fly rods for fishing in smaller streams with a lot of brush. Move up to 9 foot rods when fishing in big rivers. The longer the rod, the more control you have over your line. The larger the fly, the heavier it is and the heavier the line you will need in order to deliver it. A larger rod ensures a smooth cast with heavier lures. Beginners should use 1 - 8 weight for trout, 6-10 weight for bass, and 5 weight for panfish. Fly rods are designed to only cast a certain weight of line. For example, only use a 6-weight line with a 6-weight rod. Check the rod information that's printed above the cork grip to choose the corresponding weighted line. Different manufacturers will place the weight information on different locations on the rod and may have unique codes. Make sure to consult the manufacturer if you cannot find the pertinent information. The bait you choose will depend on the location and type of fish. Find the closest fly shop to the location that you will be fishing at and ask the sales staff what they would recommend.
Summary: Create a budget. Choose a rod based on your experience. Learn proper technique. Select the length of the rod based on your location. Use a larger line and rod for larger fish. Ensure that the fly fishing line is designed for your rod. Choose the right bait.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: For instance, in San Antonio, Texas, you might photograph the River Walk, the Alamo, and Texas Hill Country landscapes, because those are pictures that magazines might look for to fill up pages. Every piece of the photo is part of what you're trying to convey, so make sure each part says what you want it to say. For instance, if you're trying to show beauty in the midst of drudgery, a flower in a dirty old tire works well. However, if you're trying to catch a pristine photo of your nephew, you might want the dirty tire out of the frame. Taking photographs from interesting angles and distances can change how the viewer sees the subject. For instance, if you take an aerial shot of your yard from your roof, you might see patterns you didn't know were there. Always be safe when taking photographs. Call in extra help if you are climbing ladders. Alternatively, try taking a shot of something by getting up close and personal. Having the subject take up the whole frame can make the shot more interesting. That is, be on the same level as your subject. If you're photographing a child or a pet, get on your knees to get the best shot. Just like setting is a part of a story, light is an important aspect of any photo. Natural lighting can illuminate photos with a glow that surrounds subjects. However, even if you're in dark conditions, try using lamps and other light sources to create interesting shadows with your subject, such as lighting the subject from the side. If you're taking photos of people, making them laugh will create joyous expressions. When processing your photos, experiment with different filters to make the photo more interesting. However, always be sure to save a copy of the original, so that you can go back to it if you want, especially if a magazine is more interested in a plainer style. Take a little time everyday to go shoot. Walk around your neighborhood, go to the park, or visit a local bar. Always be on the lookout for interesting shots. Remember to ask permission before taking shots in businesses or of people you don't know. That is, don't stop to fiddle with your camera or to look at every shot. Just keep taking photos from different angles so you stay in the moment.
Summary:
Focus on the most interesting landscapes and landmarks in your area. Pay attention to the small things. Choose a different perspective. Look your subject in the eye. Make light part of the subject. Make them laugh. Try filters. Practice your shooting. Keep shooting.
