CASTING

the mechanical process of " throwing the feathers "

Learning to Cast

THE best way to learn how to cast a fly is to go a-fishing with some experienced fly fisherman and follow his instructions and example. Next best is to join a casting club and learn how from the " old hands " always found in such organizations and who are always glad to help a beginner. The least desirable way to learn is from printed instructions although they will help if the novice is so situated that he cannot secure the services of an instructor.

A stretch of clear water with ample room for a good back cast is the place to learn fly casting but a lawn without obstructions will do. Do not cast on a road or other bare ground or you will ruin your line.
