“False casting for practice is the best way to achieve the feel of the line in the air, but in actual fishing, false casts should be limited in number to absolute necessity. In the first place, the more false casts you make, the greater are the chances for the fish to see your arm waving, or the line in the air. And the greater are your chances to make a mistake in the cast and lose your timing. Most anglers, especially tyros, false cast too often. Three false casts should be sufficient for any throw and two is better. One is perfect.” WayFeelsShouldFirstsTwoThreeLosesLinesChancePerfectNumbersMistakePracticeGreaterAirSeaAchieveArmsRiversAbsolutesCastsFishesBest WayBoatSufficientLakesFishingTimingCastingAnglers Book:Trout Fishing Source: Trout Fishing

“Well I liked the mixture actually. It's really good fun to have throughout a shoot to move from something which is quite character based in certain scenes where there's very little action and you're just working with actors and I suppose I've had quite a lot of practice at that. This is more action than I've had a chance to do so that was fun for me too to go into the action then and have some really good crew working with me. And sometimes you get these scenes where they blend.” WellsLittlesSometimesCharacterActionMovingCertainActorsFunChancePracticeSceneCrewMixturesGood Fun Author:Oliver Parker
