Other casting 'methods' that you don't often see are those that were used by Lee Wulff. I don't mean this as an advertisement for the dvd or video, but you might want to look at 'I Was Born To Fish - Lee Wulff, Fishing The Beaverkill'. In it he discusses casting, tying (ties 5 flies sans vise including a 28 grizzly midge) and several other aspects of fly fishing.
