It takes about 100 casts to get used to it. It takes another 1000 to get the basic down. It takes 10,000 to master. It takes a lifetime to learn the tricks and trade. I'm still at the 1000's mark. Hooked myself plenty of time in the 100's. I use it when I'm a lone. I never use it when I go fishing together with a group of people.
... which reminds me, ALWAYs wear glasses when fly fishing! Right CD?
