Product Description
With so many articles and books about casting why did I write this short book? Part of the answer is that I never set to out to write a book or even an article. Instead, I set out to become a better fly, surf, spin and spey caster. To do so, I always took my first step by studying casting technique. Why did I do this? Because relatively late in life I came to believe in the power of technique; so when I became interested in fly casting, for example, I immersed myself in articles, books and videos, but surprisingly I still couldn't cast more than seventy-feet. Frustrated, I experimented with fly casting on my own, but with every casting discovery I made, a new casting symptom, like hitting myself with the fly, came out of hiding.
More and more I wished I had a casting coach, but not having a coach forced me to experiment on my own, and to find and understand the causes of my casting defects. And while I did, I took notes, notes that soon became a sort of casting journal, and then became articles that were published in many magazines. Does my journal answer every casting question? No. Does it describe the only ways to cast? No. In the end, I believe all casters are different and should learn from many sources. To me, therefore, this book is my small contribution to your own personal voyage of casting discovery.
The chapters in this book are: The Power of Casting Technique, The Fundamentals of All Casts, Long Distance Fly Casting Techniques, The Double Haul, A Modern, Spey-Like Approach to Long Distance Surf Casting, Long Distance Spin (and Bait) Casting, and Getting Started with Spey Casting.
Earlier versions of these chapters have appeared in many magazines, including: Canadian Sportfishing, Fishing and Hunting News, The Fisherman, On the Water, Gaff, and Mid Atlantic Fishing Guide.
