Hi Mike

Pay out the line in the current or over head, then take the rod up slowly in front of you until 10.30 or 11 o'clock high and stop completely, reel facing the fly, next bump the line once and send a shock wave down the line, this sometimes lifts the fly and cast out of the water, then turn the rod with both wrists making a half moon shape above your head, lower wrist on your chest bone and upper arm straight up, wait for the fly to land, the reel is now pointing completely to the right or left depending on being right or left handed, keep the rod high at all times now return the wrists to being forward again and stop the rod high in front.

Lines were always silk and most time they were one long taper, all the power came front the heavy part of the line and the further out it went the lighter it got and faster it went, think of a Bull whip and how it works. !

It is also possible that by twisting or placing torque on the wood with your wrists, the line will pick up speed.

The longer the rod the better.

Start high , keep it high and stop it high.

Tight lines
