From Jason Borger, the “Shadow Caster” in the film, A River Runs Through It, comes this perception-changing look at the learning and teaching of fly casting. Using the symbolic language introduced by Jason’s intuitive Modular Approach, you will literally be able to read and write fly casting. With the simplicity of Jason’s Three Phases, you will be able to rapidly dissect and understand casting at its core level. These empowering concepts were developed through years of observing the ways people learn about fly casting. In addition, the illustrations are built from precise photographic and videographic stills, including stop-frame image sequences of the fly rod and fly line. Whether you are just beginning, want to improve or are teaching, this book was written to help.
