Book excerpt: Finally, the elements of two-handed fly casting are demystified! Two-handed rods ahve moved from relative obscurity to the forefront of modern fly-fishing. Their advantages over single-handed rods are undeniable, especially on large rivers, and places where back-casting is difficult or impossible. Casting these powerful rods takes considerably less effort than traditional single-handed casting once the basics are mastered. The use of both hands allows the caster to use leverage to drive the cast, taking stress off the arms and shoulders. This makes Spey-casting ideal for anyone who has experienced a loss of strength, or for those who may have experienced fatigue casting heavy single-handed rods.

Download or read book Fly Casting Finesse written by John L. Field and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-04-21 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fly-Casting Finesse reveals expert John L. Field’s secrets of fly-casting based on modern observation, Field’s experience as an angler and casting teacher, and his collaboration with international members of casting clubs and schools. Whether the reader is a salt- or freshwater angler, Fly-Casting Finesse will help the caster increase accuracy and distance as well as hone presentation. It runs the gamut from one-hand spey techniques to dealing with wind on the flats. Although not a complete casting curriculum, the purpose of the book is to help anglers learn how to achieve more and know where to get assistance. Many of the skills at the highest levels of fly-casting require an educated sense of feeling in the rod hand that enables the caster to use finesse and seemingly minimal effort to manipulate the rod and line. The book will guide people down the path of acquiring that magical touch. According to Field’s philosophy, readers should first learn all casting styles and techniques to adapt them for any species and location they encounter, and secondly, they should know the history and purpose of presentation, so they can be innovative in the future. In applying this book to angling, he’s not trying to teach the reader how to catch more fish; he’s trying to help the reader catch the fish he or she wants.
