I think this is bogus thinking. You have the same amount of line out wether
your on the bank or the middle of the river. I think your making all this
harder than you need to.

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.

Hmmm...."I don't think so, Tim"

That extra yard of backcast is the same yard when it's in front of you...

Myron measures casting distance as distance from shore. If you are 80' from
shore you can make 90' casts with a 9' rod and only 1' of line. g
