CASTING : Page 214


A good plan, while practicing or fishing, is to imagine that you are casting into a big glass jar full of clear water, the edges of which are about four feet above the surface of the stream. Try to picture in your mind a very large, wary fish lying in this jar looking out at you so you must keep your upper arm and elbow pressed close to your side and cast with the forearm only to make as little movement as possible, to avoid scaring the fish. Imagine you are casting into the jar over its high edge. This will make you stop the forward cast while the fly is some distance from the water, letting it fall mostly of its own weight.
