More important as a fishing essential than good casting " form " is accuracy. I wish I could devote several pages to this subject in order to impress the beginner with its importance but little can be said — accuracy is something to be practiced and a day on the stream usually drives its importance home. Accuracy is much more desirable than the more spectacular ability to handle a long line. In actual fishing the average cast is thirty or forty feet while fifty or sixty feet is con-idered a long cast. Other Casts While the overhead cast is the most used there are modifications of it that are useful under certain conditions. One of these is the wind cast. It is made the same as the ordinary cast except in the forward cast which is made with a strong outward as well as downward motion of the casting hand. It is far from being a pretty cast and is tiring to the arm and wrist but is useful when working against a heavy wind. |
