Casting (fishing)

[1] There are several methods anglers can use to attempt to cast farther,[2] the most prominent of which is the shifting of body weight towards the front foot in kinematic synchrony to the forward swinging of the rod.

There are also variation techniques the anglers can use to cast the tackles more accurately to an exact location on the water or to get past potential obstacles.

Drop-casting, on the other hand, is all about fast sinking, and the angler must bring the rod high before releasing the finger grip on the line and drop the cast into water with full force.

Heavier again are the rods and lines used in surfcasting, and specialized two-handed casting techniques are used to provide the added distances required for the baits/lures to get past the surfs and reach inshore fish feeding near the upwellings.

Once on or in the water, the fly can then mimic aquatic insects or other invertebrates and attract insectivorous fish such as trout and anadromous salmon.
