    Default Is it only me?

    I'm talking a cast directly into a fairly good breeze
    and being able to land the fly right where you expect it
    fall.
    That nice V shape delivery some of you fellows know the feeling.


    Easy you bet;
    When casting into the wind , the mind setup is large loop to the
    rear, ( think beach-ball ) with a small loop in the front ( think golf-ball )

    The wind blowing at you will aid with the formation of the rear loop no need to haul
    but, a short haul on the front stroke lets the line speed do the work and
    deliver the fly to the bullseye. BAM!

    Loop control and line speed is what you need, like riding a bike..
    I guarantee it - sm
