. Fly Casting GIVE YOUR FLY CASTING SKILLS A MAJOR BOOST ! The outrageous and humorous approach to fly casting used in this book will sniff out those sneaky little casting goofs. And some big ones too. Eliminate those goofs and watch your CASTING ABILITY SOAR! If you think the purpose of "How to be a Lousy Flycaster" is to turn you into a lousy fly caster like that guy on the cover, you're wrong. Here's some advice NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER! The guy on the cover is Hapless Harry who holds the very unofficial title of "Worlds Worst Fly Caster" He does every thing wrong. Well, almost everything. He no longer threads his line through the hook keeper. No, he didn't figure that one out all by himself. Some helpful fly fisherman set him straight.Someone once suggested that he hold a twenty dollar bill between his elbow and his body when he practices his casting. He still does that. Not when he practices, which he hasn't done in many years, but when he actually fishes. If he doesn't happen to have a twenty dollar bill. he will use two tens's. Or a ten and 2 fives. Or a ten, a five and five ones. If you happen to meet him on stream, make sure you fish downstream of him and keep a sharp eye out for floating money. Catch and Release regulations do not apply to United States currency. (Not sure about Canada or other countries.)But I digress. This book is not really about Hapless Harry and his misadventures. Actually, you've probably guessed that Hapless Harry is a ficticious character. I made him up. I even drew his picture because I am the only person in the whole world that knows what he looks like. Actually, I found out what he looked like after I drew him. However, the mistakes are NOT ficticious, they are REAL. This book is about the mistakes that I used to make. It's about the mistakes that most beginners make. It's about the mistakes that many fly fishers make. It's about mistakes that you may be making without realizing it. But more importantly... It's about NOT MAKING THOSE MISTAKES anymore! (Or at least most of the time.)Confucious said, "A picture is worth 1000 words" Confucious was wrong. Research has revealed that, on average, a picture is worth 462 words, so, instead of using 462 words to explain the unique feature that makes this book different than any other..... ....here's a picture of Page 4
