    Take a look at the Boy Scout Fly Casting Merit Badge manual.  One thing I'd consider an error, is that it shows the start of a back cast with the rod tip high enough above the water in front, that the line sags down.  Obvious slack which will decrease available effective stroke length.

    I agree, this is what is on Page 27 of the Fly-Fishing Boy Scouts of America Merit badge series
