I am by no means a great caster. I do well over all, but I get sloppy through experimentation and I rarely have anyone critiquing my stroke (at least that I can hear). So, I offer a good site that goes over the basics (yet again). Yes, again. As a beginner you must study, imagine, visualize and copy. Most of you did this as a kid. Some pro athlete(s) in some sport sparked your passion and your ability to imagine, to copy. Well, harness the same copy-cat ways now re fly casting. Watch video’s, watch a good fly caster on stream or on the lake. Don’t try to cast as far, but master the timing and the mechanics of loading the rod. Most importantly…relax and have fun. Ultimately you are hopefully doing all this to derive some calm, peace or relaxation. Hiking, wading, stumbling, rowing, climbing aside, you will find casting a karma like experience once mastered. A means to an end…not the end in itself. CASTING INFO
