Sorry. Had to delete the body of this thread. I couldn’t paste in the photo and explanation.

Welcome to BLEW IT crew allen.

Byron,

Thank you. I qualified for the ‘crew’ a long time ago and thought I’d re-acquaint myself with the technique, lol.

What I was going to show was a photo of Catskill fly fisher, Ellis Neuman who was casting a flyline 90 feet. Now that may not be considered exceptionally long UNTIL you read that he was making that cast WITHOUT a rod. Just a fly line and his bare hands.

I’ve seen that photo. It’s said that he could do it with either hand, too.
