Why didn't Joe Brooks just say "a beginner". Who does he think he's
impressing anyway?

"False casting for practice is the best way to achieve the feel of the
line in the air, but in actual fishing, false casts should be limited
in number to absolute necessity. In the first place, the more false
casts you make, the greater are the chances for the fish to see your
arm waving, or the line in the air. And the greater are your chances
to make a mistake in the cast and lose your timing. Most anglers,
especially tyros, false cast too often. Three false casts should be
sufficient for any throw and two is better. One is perfect.." What
the hell is a TYRO?
