|
Mastering the art of casting is the challenge for fly fishers who want to fully enjoy the sport in all kinds of conditions. But the rigid rules that most anglers stick to often ensure inefficient results. Ed Jaworowski's approach to casting is the result of over twenty years of research and innovation. Based on four principles that are applicable to every cast, Ed reveals his methods for achieving accurate and effortless casting. With 380 stop-action photographs for visual support, this book provides detailed directions explaining how to cast longer while using less force, how to make a right-angle hook, how to avoid tailing loops, and how to cast in the wind.

This has to be the best book ever written on the subject of fly-casting.
If you seriously want to become a good caster, you must get this book. It is a no-nonsense, 'cut to the bone' book on what really is required to make a good cast. Much casting is demonstrated by series of high speed photography frames showing what is (or should be) going on with the rod, line and arm at any given point during the cast. It also describes how to make advanced casts such as "Roll", "Hook" and "Steeple" casts. Also consider the author's other book - "Troubleshooting the Cast".

Though I cast more like Joan Wulff - my stance is more closed than Ed's and Lefty's - I believe Ed's book is terrific. He makes basic casting theories easy to understand. Using his well-illustrated techniques are the easiest way I know for a fly caster to achieve longer distance.
