'The Orvis Guide To Better Fly Casting' takes a problem solving approach to making poor fly casters good and good fly casters great. Orvis Pro Staffer Al Kyte explains the most fundamental aspects of the mechanics of fly-rod casting, the five so-called rod variables, tilt, stroke length, bend, angle of rotation, and speed, and then describes how subtle changes in these variables impact the way a fly rod moves. Using these fundamentals, Al shows how to control the rod, line, leader, and fly to achieve perfect presentation.
