"DISTANCE CASTING" is from "Joan Wulff's Dynamics of Fly Casting" (Miracle Productions, DVD, 90 minutes), in which a recognized master of fly casting instruction demonstrates the elements of great casting: vital hand and arm movements and practice routines for learning almost all kinds of casts.
Excerpt: "There are two stances that will solve all of the problems you encounter between distance and accuracy. Accuracy is a little bit like throwing a dart. It doesn't matter how you stand, but your shoulders are square to the target, the rod is vertical, and your hand comes in close to your face. As that line lengthens, drop back your right foot and shift your weight, and that makes your stroke a little bit longer. And as we get more line, it gets to be more like a baseball throw: we change our stance from square to the target to sideways to the target by rotating at the hips, opening the shoulders backward, and angling the rod off vertical to about 1:30."
