This is it. Simon Gawesworth . . . has studied the physics of spey casting with an eye to removing the voodoo that confuses students, and subjected his theory to practice in innumerable casting schools. . . . He has a capacity for encouragement, clear explanation, humorous and helpful analogies, homilies, and witticisms--all with the purpose of teaching and improving spey casting. It is our good fortune that he writes as well and as clearly as he does: No one else could have done it!--Thomas McGuaneABOUT THE AUTHOR:Simon Gawesworth is regarded as one of the top fly-casting instructors and began teaching the casts on the river Torridge in Devon, England.
