Styles of Fly Fishing Casts
The overhead cast is the foundation of all fly-casting: other casts, such as the wind cast and the side cast, being merely variations to meet weather conditions or the natural formation of the stream. As a matter of fact, the wind and side casts, employed against the wind or when the danger of hanging-up precludes the overhead cast, are used quite as much as the overhead, especially the side cast which is a very efficient and practical fishing method. This latter cast, too, it is claimed, is the one best adapted to laying down a dry-fly cocked and dry upon the water, and is recommended to the dry-fly caster above all others. The fly-caster who is reasonably proficient with the overhead cast can pick up the wind and side casts very easily.
