I always thought it was funny that, here in the West anyway, many
waders get as far from shore as they can and can and cast out into the
river til hell wouldn't have it. And the floaters in the river hammer
the shore where the waders would be standing. I think it;s a case of
the grass being greener elsewhere.

Hi..

I don't understand how you get 2 yards casting distance for every yard
you walk out from shore.

More room for the backcast?



Yep. You gain a yard of distance because you are a yard deeper. And you get
another yard of line out because you're a yard further from the trees. So
your casts reach 2 yards farther out for every yard deeper you wade.
