I was so bad, JC gave me a lesson (in front of the whole group) at the 1st Michigan Fish-In in 2006. I'm still not great, but FAR better than I was before that lesson.
I can still feel him standing by me & hear him saying, "stop", "go", & "stop" again, but the one, SINGLE thing he said was "Keepeth thy backcast uppeth!". If it feels too early in the backcast to stop, it's the RIGHT time.
That man was my mentor, fly fishing idol, & good friend......Thanks Jim!

ps: Welcome to FAOL & whereabouts in that beautiful State of West Virginia are you?
