Lefty Kreh taught me this cast where there is a slight opening in the
trees behind you. He actually turns his body around 180 degrees and
shoots the line between the trees through the opening. Then as the line
drifts out,
he quickly turns around and makes the forward cast, all in one motion. Not
only was it pretty and accurate, but I didn't think a big man could move
that fast.



I use that technique quite a bit where the backcast has to be placed
carefully between obstacles. BUT, I'm a "big man" (spelled f-a-t in my
case ), don't move with ANY grace or speed, and I was one false step from
splashing into over my head water in this case .... so I refrained from
trying G.

The above Kreh tactic is useful in very windy situations too, .... make your
backcast your forward cast into ( or across ) the gale and your presentation
( front ) cast your back cast with the wind ... face away from the water,
as you work the line out .... ouch, now I'm all turned around and confused
