Lasse, I get a very nice point drawing a sine-wave tip path.
It's an exploration; bring a flyrod.

Flycasting, so simple that instructors need to make it complicated since 1685

Got a Q++ at casting school, wearing shorts ;)

Hi Andy

Just stand on dry land, jump the line back, so as little as possible lands in the water (anchor is needed, but as little as possible) and then deliver, a long belly line or DT is needed, and enough space behind you, and a clear ground, as the bottom of the D will land on it.
And your italian is heaps better than mine, I can't even order an espresso (dont drink coffe either so...) :p

To be honest Andy I think it's a bit of nonsense. Bunging the line on the ground with a Switch Cast relies upon having a nice clear runway to do it. Whenever I'm fishing there is either water or a jungle there. Far better to learn an aerielised dynamic D with an anchor - otherwise you'll need to take a strimmer with you fishing.

Cheers, Paul

It is an interesting concept,apparently originated on some italian resser where there were walls behind so this was the way to get a line out .
I think it might just have application on the Walthamstowe ressers where I seem to spend most of my non river fishing these days !
