FishExplorer.com Blogs

One of the privileges of being state editor is I get to read all articles first, actually several times. Interestingly, even though I’ve fished all my life, as least as long as I can remember, for all my experience, I’ve yet to read an article that I haven’t learned something.  The article I just activated is no exception, actually just the opposite it’s exceptional.

Chad LaChance, Fishful Thinker, gives his readers plenty to think about in his latest article on Fish Explorer, “Different Casting Strokes.”  Many anglers, myself included, spend a lot of time worry about where to fish, what to use, fish biology . . .   The list is endless.  All the while overlooking what should be obvious to everyone, good casting skills are paramount to success.  Oh, you can catch a few fish without them, but the reality is the better you’re able to deliver your offerings, the better you’ll be at catching.

After reading his article, I realized that it’s no small coincidence that as my fly casting skills have improved over the years, so has my catch rate. Gives Chad’s article on the mechanics of fishing a read, I’ve no doubt you’ll find it both an enjoyable and beneficial read.
