This handy reference has simple, step-by-step instructions for executing a variety of casts useful to the fly-fisher, including false casts, roll casts, reach casts, mends, double hauls, and spey casts. Sturdy, water-resistant construction--including a spiral binding and plastic pages--makes this a perfect gide when you're where you need it most: on the water! The diagrams are easy to follow, and tabbed pages allow for quick indexing.
