"Before you begin to angle make a trial, having the wind on your back, to see at what length you can cast your fly, that the fly light first into the water, and no longer, for if any of the line fall into the water before the fly, it is better uncast than thrown ."
The Art of Angling" Thomas Barker, an ancient practitioner of the said Art, London, England - 1651 This book was given to me by Iain Short several years ago. I read a couple pages and put it down only to missplace it later. While looking for another book yesterday I came across it and read it in its entirety last evening. Thanks Iain and forgive me for taking so long to respond and thank you for a very enjoyable read.
