The Perfect Cast I (ISBN # 978-0-9854280-2-0) is the latest book in the Fly Fishing Series by Gary A. Borger.

         Fly casting is built on one simple rule: what the rod tip does, the line does. From this underlying principle, Gary builds an amazingly clear and thorough understanding of fly casting, and introduces concepts that help you achieve mastery over this essential angling skill. His easily grasped discussions of line momentum, and loop formation and control, for example, are both important and revealing.  With the easily-understood techniques that he sets forth in this book, you will quickly acquire the essential elements of fly casting by using the time-proven pantomime-practice technique. Your abilities will grow quickly as technique flows seamlessly into technique, and precise casting tactics become integral components of your fly fishing.

         In this delightfully informative book, he leads you through a thorough understanding of casting development and skill acquisition–from the nine different ways you can grip the rod, to highly detailed and easily understood descriptions of the three methods of fly casting. He details the essential understanding of Acceleration, Loop Formation, and Energy Transfer (A.L.E.), and presents the best practice tools and methods for developing good casting quickly. Gary reveals the secret of High Speed High Line (HS/HL) that he uses to make high, fast backcasts with tight line loops, and the way to shoot a long line. He shows you how to utilize a wide variety of casting styles, including the Elliptical Stroke, Casting in the Wind, Sidearm Casting, Tournament Style Accuracy, the Galway cast, Across the Head Casting, accuracy in casting, and concepts of mending. In addition he skillfully covers the Bow and Arrow Cast, Extended Bow and Arrow, Roll Cast, Sidearm Roll Cast, Switch Cast (Forward Spay), Sidearm Switch, and more, for your successful use in all fishing conditions. He introduces on-the water and in-the air mending with the Reach Mend and the Curve Mend. These many, highly useful techniques are backed by their use in his lifetime of fly fishing, worldwide.  Illustrated with photos and the line art of Jason Borger.
