The Path to the Perfect Cast
Over the last few years, I have been able to accompany many beginners as well as experienced casters on courses and on the water.
I would like to share the knowledge I have gained with you.
You can't reinvent the wheel, because the processes involved in fly casting are predetermined.
It's more about optimisation potential; even small changes in the casting process can have a big effect.
It's a great feeling when the line flies almost by itself.
I will show you where the key points are for all common casts and how you can achieve maximum results with minimum effort.
Aiming for the perfect cast would be utopian, as it is ultimately a combination of many factors that are also influenced by the conditions in nature.
The aim is to get close and have maximum fun when casting.

These lines are extremely versatile, especially when having to cope with difficult casting situations on rivers or lakes. Once we learn some easy relaxed casting techniques we can start to really enjoy our fishing.
