Not that it's too significant but is casting distance normally measured from:
1. Angler to fly?
2. Rod tip to fly?
3. Angler to end of fly line?
4. Rod tip to end of fly line?

Hi,
I'm not an "official" by any means but I stand behind a line.....actually my concrete driveway....so I can feel with my feet where the line is so I don't step across it. I then measure from that point, the "line", to where the fly, or yarn, actually lands.
Regards,
Doug
no 1
Since the distance measured is from where I am standing to the point I am casting to, I think that number one best describes casting distance. IMHO.

fisher,
No. 1.
In a fishing situation: You see a fish rising exactly (built in radar) 55 feet away from where you are standing. How far of a cast do you have to make to hit it on the head, assuming he hasn't moved?

Angler to fly.
Number one. Ron
It would seem to me to be #1.
Number 1 as everyone else has said but I maintain that this is not the best way to measure it. It should be from the tip of the rod to the fly. After all, if I have a 30 foot rod and I am able to get one foot of line out the end of it, please don't tell me I can cast 31 feet.

If that is where your fly landed,,, ya just did.
