Todd Tanner has a new story in Hatch Magazine about false casting that’s worth your time to read. His opinion is that the general trend in fly fishing surrounding false casting is, well – false. He thinks we go too hard with the “false cast as little as possible” mantra, and should enjoy the art of casting more.

Regardless of where you stand, you should read Todd’s piece, which you can find here.
