Well, don't know about falling over or hypothermia, but I do know that
most of the places I fish have trees and bushes along the shore. You need
to get out into the water to be able to cast.

Although I prefer wadding, it is possible to fly-fish from the bank, the
most common cast believe it or not is not up in the air, but it's the
rollcast. Beautiful cast when done right. 40-60ft rollcast are not uncommon,
and like other casting strokes, it takes a lot of practice.
