Casting

Well, try as I will - and I tried many times. I could not fully capture fly casting on a 9 x 6 inch sketch pad. The rods are 9 feet long the line in the air is anywhere from 30 feet to 65 feet, sometimes longer. Clearly a man 6 feet tall or less would be a lot tinier than what I captured. In addition, the line speed is such that one can really only see a tiny portion of the path at a time and the fisherman is constantly moving. A beautiful sport to watch if you have countless numbers of hours ahead of you.
