{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Overhead casting help needed

Andrew,  You Tube is the greatest thing as far as casting demo's.  I have spent countless hours working on my 2 handed casting and going back to videos on Y.T.   Saying that, nothing beats a lesson from a casting instructor, which I am not.   There are several in the club who are.  Worth the money. .

Anyone down to help teach a relative newbie basic single-hand overhand casting (am willing to bribe)?. A little background: I've been fly-fishing for about 2 years and have self-selected forms of fishing which don't really require much casting. i.e. small brushy streams  such Beaver Creek MD/SNP/Gunpowder where I can use short roll type casts for almost everything. I'm looking to branch out a little and have started practicing overhead casting with and w/o double-hauling after work (on grass). This has been fairly comical especially as I try to carry more line and  vary my orientation with respect to the the wind. A persistent problem is that my backcast doesn't stay high enough. I've been working through some of the tutorials on sexyloops and Joan Wulff's book, but thought there might be some good resources here. Thanks for your help.
