		Most are well done, with easy to see casting actions interspersed withon-the-water examples of how a casting lesson should work in real fishing.Often an instructor will have several videos (introductory as well as advancedcasting) and possibly a book to back up the videos.
		The dry land stuff allows you to cast againsta measured distance (try a line marked off in 5 foot intervals); to setout targets for accuracy practice, and to walk out your cast to see howit fared (did it really straighten out or did the last 10 feet of a 70foot cast land in a pile?).
		There must be a pause at the end of both the front and back portion of the casting stroke, which varies in duration with the amount of line beyond the rod tip (ie.

		I must have been casting a fly for about 30 years but after about 20 seconds on the river bank with David it was clear that I still had much to learn, or, rather, unlearn.
		Casting technique is one of those actions, like the golf swing, that it pays to get right at the outset.

	"Casting Sport Could Help Tackle Sales? - Jim C. Chapralis - Fly Angler's OnLine
		Through the years, this mixture of tournament casting and tackle manufacturers proved to be of tremendous mutual value to the development of tackle, the evolution of fly-casting methods and the casting fraternity.
		Casting was so popular in the "Golden Years" (as casting historian, Cliff Netherton described it) that many clubs in the northern climes offered casting during the winter months in school gyms.
		I think the industry and the casting fraternities are missing a tremendous potential, in that casting is not actively being introduced in schools and colleges.

	fishing: Sport Fishing
		The basic equipment of modern sport fishing consists of a barbed metal hook at the end of a nylon or Dacron line, and a wood, fiberglass, or metal rod, or pole, that usually has some type of spool, or reel, near the handle around which the line is wound.
		Live bait (worms, insects, minnows, or frogs) or artificial flies and lures are cast into or on the stream as an enticement for the fish to bite.
		Heavier rods and reels of the bait-casting type are used in saltwater fishing; trolling and casting from the surf are the usual methods.

		Jack Sparks, a casting champion and journalist of the pre war era, has mentioned that the haul was used as early as 1922 in the San Franciso area.
		Probably if there is one casting achievement that stands out for me, the most rewarding thing still to this day and the most exciting and fulfilling moment, was when I finally shot 300 out of 300 in the fly games; the first one ever to do it.
		By age thirteen, I was ready after three years of daily casting and, at probably 150 pounds, I was physically big enough to cast all the accuracy events without a problem and in distance I was coming into the strength and size that it takes to handle most of the events.

		After a brief casting instruction session at Fletcher’s Boat House, members were paired off with guides, and then rowed out in 40-year-old wooden dories to choice fishing spots along the Potomac.
		While it was the height of shad season, air temperatures in the 90s considerably slowed fishing, but with a little tenacity, some participants were successful in catching and releasing hickory shad, American shad, white perch, catfish, smallmouth bass and striped bass.
		Krieger told the assembled congressmen and their aides, "You’re going to grow in this sport until the day you can no longer walk to the river," assuring everyone fly-fishing was not as hard as golf, tennis or ping pong.

	Cody Enterprise: News about Cody, Wyoming, and Yellowstone Country
		Spey casting is a sport that originated in Scotland on the wide, fast flowing Atlantic salmon rivers there.
		Some reach more than 15 feet, requiring different casting strokes than the fly rods most of us are familiar with, as well as requiring two hands versus one to pull or push, depending on which side of the river one approaches the current.
		I told you this sport had some quirks, and getting the rod to fit you is similar to what one goes through when fitting the stock of a shotgun.

	Sport Fishing - Casting and Hookup Techniques
		* With spooky fish, cast at an object such as a clump of grass, mound or mangrove sprig 30 to 40 feet away from them.
		Bones often meander toward such structure, plus you have a reference point as to the location of your fly or bait.
		* Always cast low so the bait enters the water quietly - a high cast plops loudly into the water and spooks bonefish.

	Steve Rajeff, the Terminator of Tournament Casting
		He had made practice casts into a lake this way, and although he knew the ball was going at least 250 yards, he didn't know if he could beat Couples' drive of 333 yards.
		On a cast with a surf rod, the lure travels in a 360-degree arc before being sent to its destination, and on his warm-up swing, Rajeff underestimated the closeness of the PGA players who were crowded around to watch.
		However, international rules disallow a cast if wind speed near the time of the cast exceeds 8 mph in any direction and the cast was never recorded.
