    Default shooting a flyrod


    I really wanted to use my flyrod today after seeing what looked to be good spots from the opposite bank yesterday. when I got out it was way too windy and too many trees overhead and behind me for a proper cast, but I thought I would try to cast like I was shooting under docks for crappies except i held the leader and not the fly. It looked weird to alot of walkers and other fishermen but it worked.
    I only fish on days that start with T, like tuesday, thursday, today, and tomorrow.

    In fly fishing, it's usually called the "bow and arrow cast":



    BTW, that guy has a lot of good casting videos.

    seems like that would just be a tangled mess, or the leader/tippet/fly would end up wrapped around a piling to me, but gonna try that.
    GO BIG ORANGE !

    I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.
