Casting Tips

Delayed Start
by Walt Robinson

Usually, I start casting lessons before the meeting starting in April, but my wife and I will be on the road that week. I will be at the San Jose Fly Shop open house on Saturday, April 1st, in case anyone needs a quick casting "tweak" in the parking lot. There will also be some casting demos from vendors during the day.
