Imaginary Lines on a Pool 



this time about a foot to the left of 

 your first cast. Go through the same 

 operations of allowing the fly to float 

 down to the foot of the pool, lifting the 

 fly from the water, making your false 

 casts in the air, and let the third cast 

 be about a foot to the left of the sec- 

 ond cast, and on the same imaginary 

 line running across the pool, and re- 

 peat these operations until your fly 

 has reached the opposite bank. Then 

 lengthen the line still further (and you 

 can now also probably advance care- 

 fully a step or two up-stream) and let 

 the next cast be near the bank at the 

 right, but a few feet above the spot 

 where the first cast was made. Draw 

 another imaginary line across the 

 stream parallel with the first one, 

 from the point where the fly dropped 

 on the water on this cast. Allow the 

 fly to float down, this time not neces-
