Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Curve casts

So you do change the tip path? -- gotcha.  I'll make that next clinic -- 

Thanks,

Gene,

it is a twisting or turning of the wrist  during the final acceleration phase of the forward cast.  The motion  takes the rod tip from a straight path and makes an abrupt  curved path of the tip.

The curve can be done in either direction, but is easiest to do by twisting or rotating the wrist to the inside.

I hope that helps. Remind me next time I see you.

Hi - I remember a recent article which indicated that you can throw a curve cast either by overpowering the forward cast, or by twisting the wrist at the end of the forward casting stroke.  

I think that they are easy enough to do by using a more side arm cast and overpowering it (and/or using an untapered leader), but I cannot for the life of me understand how twisting your wrist could possibly accomplish this.  It makes no sense to me....the rod still moves in the same direction, so how does the fly line read your mind and determine that you want the last few feet of it to kink into a 90 degree bend?
