Hone your fly-casting skills in just a few hours!.
The better you can cast, the more you'll enjoy fly-fishing. With
good casting technique you can place the fly where you want it,
effortlessly and with precision and grace, even when wind or
obstructions conspire against you. In "Master the Cast," George V.
Roberts Jr., a lifelong fly-fisher and sought-after instructor,
walks you through a course that breaks the complicated mechanics
into a few simple components. Then, with the help of hundreds of
photos and illustrations, he shows you how to master these in seven
concise lessons, including: . . The Roll Cast, which builds your
rod-arm mechanics (how the hand, wrist, forearm, and upper arm
function to make the rod work). The Pick-Up-and-Lay-Down Cast,
which forms the foundation of all straight-line casting. False
Casting, which allows you to keep the fly airborne for several
strokes before delivering it. plus Shooting Line, Casting in All
Planes, Drift and Follow-Through, Off-Vertical Casting, and an
advanced lesson on Hauling. .
"Master the Cast" is an indispensable resource for all
fly-fishers, beginner to advanced, that will have you casting flies
with confidence, precision, and consistency after only a few hours'
practice..
"Most fly-fishers cast mechanically without understanding the
mechanics of the cast. But understanding precisely what is going on
and why is what makes a good caster into an excellent one. George
Roberts understands casting mechanics inside and out, and his
"Master the Cast" will help you do just that."James R. Babb,
editor, "Gray's Sporting Journal,"
