Steven H. McGarthwaite's backcast

[Colston Newton]

Am I the only onethat has noticed that the fisher in McGarthwaite's signature mpg drops his backcast every time?

Colston

I've noticed that too, but I try not to look at it for fear that it might be contagious. *g*

Great, there goes 3 months of practice. I was using it as a training video.




aaaarrrrrrats

I noticed that just today. i was flattered, thinking he modeled that graphic after me...

I figured the guy was fishing both sides of the stream at the same time. I thought, man, he's good.

As a newbie to fly casting I thought that was just a device used by the old timers to clear the newbs out of the pool . "Stay away from my backcast Boy"

I use that cast to keep people from crowdnig me. I'll throw a couple of casts along close to the bank in either direction when someone starts looking like they want to move closer. They usually change their mind. :0

Okay you find a video image that shows a better cast and I will use it. Think of it this way, it is an up stream - down stream cast, covering two bodies of water at half the effort.

Otherwise I may suggest everyone go wading in deep water with large rocks in their waders.

Parnelli,
I wouldn't change a thing! I think it looks exactly like your casting stroke

[Grubb]

"G" maybe he catches more fish...
