The Shadow Cast

In the movie A River Runs Through It Brad Pitt is seen doing a cast so beautiful that it makes a grown fly fisherman cry. This cast was named the “shadow cast” and it was actually performed by Jason Borger, who runs the Fly Casting Institute.

Now, Jazz & Fly Fishing has developed a new, more effective Shadow Cast. The video below introduces this new way of fly casting. Poetry in motion is perhaps the best way to describe it.

Great shadowcast, man! Haha! I learned a new expression this week by a fellow student, and I think this is the right time for me to use it the first time… ROFLMAO!

“sometimes the shadow cast is not that useful but there are some situations” I can see how hard it was to keep a straight face – classic. pj from the UK

Just wondering, by the end of that cast, how many knots did you produce between the leader and tippet? LMAO!
You guys are fantastic! A fellow supporter and fan of both Jazz music as well as the art of fly fishing…;D
