There's a lot of truth in that .Originally Posted by Bill Kiene
BUT - what happens when you're "out" of it ?? I can (and do) bomb lead-core waaaaaay out there , also not half-bad in tight (I started flycasting on a Smallmouth stream you could spit across , goof up , and you're fishin' for birds) . But give me a floating 5 wt. line and tell me to hit 65 feet ...
It ain't gonna happen .
So ..... find a friend that has a FIRM grip on proper flycasting , or rent somebody that is FFF certified and learn the right way to do it . In the end , how many of us are REALLY happy w/ our casting ? Can you curve-cast a popper around and behind a brushpile ? Can you cast downstream and get 15 feet of slack before drag sets in ? When the Shad are at 90 feet , can you cover them ?? Are you "beat-up" after casting for 9 hours ??
None of this is pointed at anyone except myself , I know I'm drifting off-topic ... But why not stack the odds in YOUR favor ? I WILL work to learn the "right" way to do it , and maybe become a good caster someday . David
