Ed Jaworowski has spent his life learning, practicing, understanding,
teaching, perfecting, and writing about casting. He is an acclaimed and
widely recognized expert of the subject with an exhaustive list of
credentials. This, his third book, is his tour de force. Filled with his
60+ years of casting wisdom, it explains the four principles of casting
which if understood can be adapted to meet any and every specific
fishing condition. Instead of telling you what to do, how to stand, how
to grasp the rod, where to start and end the stroke, and how to move the
rod, Ed teaches the first few things that all casts have in
common--those principles--and then shows how to apply those fundamentals
in endless ways. He covers casting theory and mechanics and then
explains how to analyze and diagnose casts. Based on Ed's six decades of
fishing for more than one hundred fresh and saltwater species, this is a
book for all fly fishers, so that whatever fishing situation, whatever
rod, whether on a stream, in a boat, offshore, onshore, or wading, the
fly fisher understands what the aim is--to deliver the fly to the
fish--and is able, because of an understanding of how casting works and
what needs to happen, to make the cast and get the fish.
