    You know I went back and watched the guy casting for over an hour and in all that time He dropped the back cast every single time . I guess it is habit now and too late to correct . Not only that he never paused long enough to actually fish .
    For God's sake, Don't Quote me! I'm Probably making this crap up!

    Maybe thats the cast that they talk about in a river runs through it. The one where the brother just hovers the fly over the water so the fish can see it but they can't actually get it, because brad pit is such and excellent fly caster

    "I've often wondered why it is that so many anglers spend so much money on,and pay so much attention to.the details on the wrong end of the fly line.If they took as much care in selecting or tying their flies as they did in the selection of the reel and rod,They might be able to gain the real extra edge that makes it possible to fool a fish that has,in fact,seen it all before" A.K.Best

    Everyone wants to excel in this sport but at the same time we let traditionalists place restrictions on our tactics, methods, and ideas. I always assumed that fly fishing was a sport that allowed imagination, creation, adaptation, investigation, dedication, education, revelation? : Fox Statler, On Spinners (Not the dainty Dry Fly kind) "Spinner'd Minner Fly"

    I remember when I was a little kid seeing my father catch a fish on a bad back cast

    You all need to look at it one more time and look real close. He is not standing in water! That is green grass around his knees which tells me he is standing on a gravel bar in the middle of the river and he is fishing the stream on both sides of the bar at the same time!! He is that good and you all are just jealous!!

    Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.
