    Group....
     
    Let's see if you can come up with a fly casting author to match each statement, below:-
     
    1. Enlightenment casts.
     
    2. "I can diagnose any casting fault, just by watching the line."
     
    3. " The size of the loop is determined by the distance that you speed up and stop."
     
    4. "Picking leaves."
     
    5. "......a white rat."
     
    6. It's not necessary to use a yarn fly while practice casting.  Teaches beginning students to make only back casts....no forward casts, until they can do it well.
     
    7. Originally described the "effective rod length" as the chord subtending the arc formed by the fully bent rod.
     
    8. Spent many years developing a boron fly rod blank.
     
    9. Invented the, "pants over vest" modern type of ferrule used for the majority of fly rods, today.
     
    10. Described the, "variable casting arc".
     
    11. Described releasing fly line in the direction of a downstream running salmon to try to get the fish to stop or turn upstream.
     
    12. Described tying flies on the stream using no vise.  He depicted a casting pattern for fishing for Atlantic salmon.
     
    13. Came up with 22 1/2 degrees as the, "ideal casting angle".
     
    14. Touted, PEZON ET MICHELLE rods.  Recommended using a Hock wine bottle for arm exercises.
     
    15. Possibly the FIRST to seriously consider the essentials of fly casting.
