Just got back from a pleasant morning teaching GalFarmer (who I hope joins us on this site) to cast and fish. We spent an hour on basic casting and then a couple of hours casting for fish.

I was amazed at how quickly she was able to get the basics. Unfortunately she did not get to catch any fish (yet) but I am sure in the next week or two she'll have some fish to her credit.

Here is her reminder, as I hope she is at least lurking.

1..2..1..2.. NOT 12... 12... (timing)
Less wrist, more forearm.
