Chuck,
Mark your flyline at the house at your maximum casting distance.
You'll be surprised when you cast on the pond or lake.

Tony: Thanks.. .I'll give that a try... I think one problem also is that
in
the boat I have now, because it is a narrow jon boat, I have to cast
sitting
down, and now that I think about it, I can practice cast here at the
house
farther than I can when I get out in the boat with these big or heavy
flies.. I hope to get a wider boat as soon as possible, but I can try the
upward thing in the mean time, Chuck
