The Orvis Guide to Fly Casting by Tom Deck
Getting to the river, lake, estuary or ocean is the easy part. The hard part is putting the fly in the right place so you have a chance to catch a fish. In this definitive guide, Tom Deck, head of casting instruction at the Orvis Fly-Fishing School in Manchester, Vermont, explains exactly how to cast. In a thorough, concise text, Deck teaches readers the same techniques that have drawn anglers to the Orvis School since 1968. Topics covered include: setting up the rod, grip and stance; the forearm and wrist in fly casting; applying power to the casting stroke; and false casting, roll casting and roll-cast pickup, the single and double haul. After each lesson is a section filled with coaching tips and suggestions for mental imagery, as well as a segment on troubleshooting, pointing out common problems and how to solve them. There are also useful chapters on casting for specific kinds of fish and in different kinds of water.| SKU | Unavailable |
