Improving Your Fishing Cast

A few months ago I watched my 12 year old nephew skillfully cast his fishing line into our neighbor’s tree. After much twisting and turning of the line I was able to disentangle the line and move my nephew a bit further down the lake shore. My husband, a recreational fisherman has a beautiful cast. His cast is like a flock of birds soaring through the sky. My cast is similar to my nephews. There have been several occasions where a duck and cover drill has followed my cast.

My husband wants to go on a trout fishing trip.  A patient teacher, he’s been advising me that one of the most important parts of casting is accuracy. You don’t want your line to end up in the bush when the fish are swimming under the bush! I found out there are many resources from casting videos to chat room anglers that can help you improve your cast.

Fly fishing trips add the additional challenge of another line. But I like the fact I don’t have to deal with live bait. This year we hope to go Fly Fishing in GA. So I’ll keep practicing my cast and getting advice from fellow fisher men and women.
