"I for one am very pleasantly surprised by the excellence of the work. The authors are exceptionally good fly casters. ...The way in which the authors convey the method and execution of casting via the printed page ...is what is so refreshing. The ...illustrations [are] outstanding: eloquently developing the sequence through each type of cast, showing rod movement as well as the entirety of the caster's stance and movements. The ...text is brief and uncluttered, and similarly clear. The whole is so wellthought through, and there is not a wasted page. ...There is nothing out there that really does it better and it is difficult to see how the printedpage could achieve any measurable improvement. An outstanding feat that should become a benchmark in our sport. " (Jeremy Lucas, on Flyforums). Contents include; Overhead cast, double-handed Spey cast, roll cast, snake cast; Which cast to use and when; How to improve your casting techniques; How to correct bad habits; Latest casts from around the world; Advice on best casting rods, reels and flylines. "This book will transform your casting skills whether you are a complete beginner or an already experienced flyfisher."
