In the thread "Clave/Demo Observations Riveraddict brought up casting in adverse/windy conditions which caused me to think back to something that happened to me a few years ago fishing the Stilly. I was fishing a famed run on that river in the late afternoon and was fighting a strong up river wind. To cast against this strong wind I was dropping my cast down to the side, almost side arming it if you will, and throwing the line a few feet above the water surface. One cast I made was a bit to close to the water and the line hit the water mid cast but instead of stopping the cast the line "skipped" for lack of a better term. The best thing I can use to illustrate what happened it was just like skipping a rock across the surface of the water. I spent a good portion of the rest of my time that evening attempting to duplicate skipping or bouncing the line off the water during the cast and was successful a few times in doing so. Have any others here ever performed a skip or bounce cast?

I've never tried it with a two hander but I use it regularly while streamer fishing for trout with a one handed rod. You know those fishy looking spots that have low hanging branches? Just "skip" a cast right under them to get in the door of the trout condo...

It doesn't matter what it hit's just as long as it hits something and then lands where you want it. :hihi:
