MidCurrent contributor Bruce Richards offers this commentary on casting mechanics and the impact of a long vs. short stroke on casting distance and loop size. It's always interesting to note that expert casters can disagree (Bruce and Lefty), at least in terms of the language they use to describe such things as loop formation. From the FlyFisherman board. (Thanks to reader David Dalu for this link.)
