Del, Joan Wulff teaches the straight up  over&above you head approach, and 
it works for some. My wife loves that method. I remember when we took the 
official courses at Orvis in Manchester, Vermont in '93 and they taught us 
to hold the rod out to where we could only see half our thumb nail. I really 
like that method. For me it's more confortable. My wife and i have both 
graduated the Wullf scholl for casting instructors and i still teach my way. 
All the tried and tested methods are good. You just need to find what fits 
you. I've watched all the instructors give test for cetification each year 
that i've been to the FFF I.C. and every guy has his eye on something he can 
help a student with. I've watched Jason Borger and his father teach, Mel 
Krieger teach, Joan Wulff teach, and Lefty teach and Barry and Cathy Beck 
teach, and Ed Jarwoski teach, and Bob Jacklin teach, and Floyd Frankie 
teach, and Jack Dennis teach, and Steve Rajeff teach and so many others and 
they all have something you can use because it's all based on experience and 
knowledge. Years of both, many years. I'll never be able to shine the shows 
of any of them as a caster. But that's ok. I'm only out to have fun, and 
enjoy my time on the water. If your casting is intefering with you ability 
to do that, get help. mark

I think that part of my problem is that I cast side arm. I can cast 
overhead,
but I prefer not to. My overhead cast are sloppy and unsightly, and I 
believe
I put fish down with them. My side arm cast are great, to a certain 
distance
(30-35 ft.)
