A Casting Question

[Steve Molcsan]

It's all about loop control.......big, small, open, closed, tight, loose, as well a person should be able to do them all without rod hits..

I call them on command casts... not original I know

also a cast of any type dose not need to be pretty to be effective... it just needs to feel good in your hand and mind

Mechanics of the casts always vary slightly with one's style.... Its about comfort as well, you have to find and stay in your zone...

I saw a photo of Loteck Joe casting. now that was pretty.. looked like he was in his zone having fun too!

Heres another thing I believe, if you stay with the exact mechanics of the cast as drawn in many fine casting books you are very likely
to have some fine looking casts and I have seen at various fly casting clubs many able to cast like a machine but unless your a Mel Keiger
or Lefty your likely not to enjoy casting much if you become a stiff machine. it will wear you out quickly..
Many beginners will notice fatigue while learning because of this...

Experiment and find your zone it is more enjoyable an soothing once you do...
