I do manage to get in some practice during the "off-season" by fishing a small year round stream. After years of getting by, I was forunate to find a couple casting instructors that really knew what they were doing and imprpoved my casting immensly. They were Deanna Travis and Jim Birkholm. They were never to busy to lend a hand to anyone who asked ( and, in some cases, to those who didn't ask). I do try to repay their kindness by passing on what they taught me.
