"ALVIN DEDEAUX: Now, there's a couple of things about fly casting that are totally different from any other type of casting or most sports for that matter. One is the fact that you have to do two casts to make one presentation. So I have to make a back cast and a forward cast in order to get that fly out there as opposed to most other types of casting where you come back slow and then all your power is out in front of you, or even most other sports where you usually wind up slow and all the power is here. With the fly cast, I'm actually going to have to make a back cast and a forward cast just to make one presentation. The other thing that's totally different is the fact that each one of those casts ends with a very abrupt stop on the back cast and the forward cast. In most other sports, you have some follow through. The abrupt stop would be the equivalent of taking a baseball and throwing it and then just stopping as soon as you release the ball. That's what you have to do with the fly line to actually launch the line, abrupt stop. So we're going to make two presentations, and each one of those presentations is going to end with an abrupt stop."
