I've personally seen Lefty Kreh cast a fly line with just the tip of a fly rod and just his hands. The first time I saw him cast with just his hands was in a classroom with an 8ft ceiling. He cast about 30ft of line with a tight closed loop about 6 inches below the ceiling and placed his fly into a trashcan 30ft away. Living in Maryland, just about any flyfishing show in this area has Lefty attending so I'm kinda spoiled in I get to watch him do his thing frequently. I never tire of seeing him demonstrate his casting abilities. When I grow up and become a true "flycaster" I don't ever envision having that ability. Wayneb
