Thinking outside the, "box" re flycasting....Jeff

Walter & Group....

 

This note from Jeff Barefoot (MCI..Pa.) should be heeded by all of us.  He's referring to Mac Brown's message re new thoughts on leaders which go beyond the ordinary. I might point out that I've spent time with Jeff who has also come up with some neat casting concepts such as loop planes which differ from rod planes, etc....material you won't find in any book, but which help define the true MASTER.

 

You'll find this quality of thought process in Mac's book, CASTING ANGLES.....especially in his chapter on, ENLIGHTENMENT CASTING. :-

    Mac's message is not so much about putting fishing string together but more about thinking outside the box.  It's more about not just accepting collective thought as an end but as more of a start.  What we do know now about any subject is probably less in comparison to what is not commonly known, discussed, or accepted.  To grow and expand we must keep looking out not in.  If you feel like you have reached some conclusion be aware that the answer probably goes deeper. 

 

    What can be done with a fly rod is bound by a few simple rules of physics.  How we apply these simple rules is only at the limit of our imagination. 

 

Keep pushing the limits.
