Interesting article.

I fish with a 2 handed rod for certain species and during those times, when using the 2 hander, I get into a rhythm with the rod, the cast and the river. It becomes second nature; the swing, the lift, pull back with a small cast upstream to set up for the downstream rip, watching the mouse, setting the anchor, then forward with the cast, mend, swing. It almost becomes a form of meditation. While all of this is going I am reading the water. The speed of the current, the direction it is coming to my position, the depth of the water, the wind speed, wind direction and making adjustments to the cast during its progress to compensate for all the input. I feel so in tune with the river and its environment I become totally immersed in it to the point of being oblivious to anything or anyone else.

Do I feel this way with a single hand rod? You bet. The type of rod in my hands does not matter.
