Casting

[Steve Molcsan]

Get someone to watch you to make sure that your are doing what you think you are doing.

I am so glad your brought that up...


Our local park is oriented east west
in full Sun and on the grass my shadow can nicely be seen
Shadow Casting is what I call it, I read it some where.


It is amazing the difference it makes to see your shadow
To plainly see line, rod and your arm in motion
is a huge advantage , especially with your timing rhythm
I pay attention to the arm and wrist , rod loading ,
abrupt stops/drift and the horizontal plane..
Your able to see exactly what the line is doing.



Make a note of what you want to look at,
Put it in your fishing vest to have it on the water..
You will forget everything on the water , that is the reason
to practice and develop casting muscle memory.


A good practice session can be 20 minutes or so and a good time.
Casting is an intuitive game that once learned is hard to undo and
so easy to love

Picking leafs out of trees is good good fun practice, I know some one here has done
it , it leads to worry free casting in the woods but I digress as normal...


Oldster thanks good catch !
