In fly fishing you shoot the line with wrist action as you cast (you actually cast the line, not the fly). All correct casts utilize the wrist.




Floridafan,

Absolutely right! I believe Ted Williams learned this many years ago and it helped him become a better hitter. I don't think he put the video of him fly fishing in his hitting tape just to throw it in, I think he was giving us clues.
