Jaworowski Took My Casting To The Next Level
7 Feb 2000
By Walter W. Hofer
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Ed Jaworowski clearly explains why my cast sometimes falls apart and sometimes works well. In "Trouble Shooting the Cast" he demonstrates a thorough understanding of the mechanics of fly-casting and goes from there to clearly pinpoint common casting mistakes. He has done his homework well. Jaworowski identifies and analyzes over 30 common casting problems and gives clear and concise explanations for their underlying causes. He explains the relationships between one problem and another. After dealing with the fundamentals of fly-casting, Jaworowski addresses special problem areas such as casting in the wind and casting shooting heads and weighted flies and leaders.
After studying "Trouble Shooting the Cast," I find that I starting to be able to dissect my (and other's) casting mistakes by just analyzing the movement of the fly line. For instance, Jaworowski clearly explains that line oscillations in my forward cast meant I had slack in the backcast or that the end of my fly line curves to the left or right because I had misdirected hand motion at the last instant of the forward cast. Now I am able to analyze each cast and know what I need to do to correct the problem.
The illustrations in the book are barely adequate, and could be a lot better. Actual photographs contrasting the correct and incorrect casting technique might have helped.
I agree with Lefty Kreh's assessment that Ed Jaworowski is the best fly casting instructor around.

How to cast correctly and fix what you're doing wrong
6 Mar 2006
By James Benenson
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
It's too bad that a book like this has to be written. Ed teaches the best method of fly casting there is, so if you read the first four pages and -> practice <- what he teaches, you'll rarely experience the 32 problems that he writes about in the rest of the book.
If you insist on using an inferior casting method and are having problems, this book is the next best thing to Ed being at your side showing what's wrong and teaching what's right.

Invaluable Reference for Anglers of Any Level
19 April 2002
By BP
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This was just the book I was looking for when I had been fly fishing for a while but started running into problems with my cast. This book anticipated all of them and provides easy solutions. Some casting books make it difficult to picture what they're doing with the rod, even with pictures. "Troubleshooting the Cast" lays it out clearly. Highly recommended.
