IMHO, the movie "A River Runs Through It" was one of the worst things (and best things) that happened to fly fishing. I believe the actual fly caster was Jason Borger who was shown to be seen casting "hundreds" of feet with grace and beauty. However, fish are in the water and not in the air. For this reason I begin newbies to first nymph fish and not concentrate on dry fly casting. The roll cast is the first and foremost cast to master and all others can follow.
