Some act and talk as though casting were the entire art of Fly-fishing,
and grade an angler solely by the distance he can cover with his flies.
This is a great mistake and pernicious in it's influence. Casting is but
a method of placing a fly before the trout without alarming it, and within
its reach. It is merely placing food before a guest. The selection of
such food as will suit, and so serving it as to please a fastidious and
fickle taste, still remain indispensably necessary to induce its acceptance.
- Henry P. Wells, "Fly-Rods and Fly-Tackle",
1885
