[cool][font "Poor Richard"][green][size 3]I was reading an interesting article in F&S about the author who was invited to fly fish for tarpon & snook in Florida. He indicated that years of neglect would require lessons to get his skill back to a level that wouldn't embarrass himself too much on his up coming outting. He set up a casting lesson with the one and only Lefty Kreh. One on the tips Lefty mentioned " Imagine your elbow sliding along a shelf". Have never heard that particular discription of the cast before but it certainly makes sense. If your casting skills need help, thing about Lefty's suggestion. [/size][/green][/font]
