Casting with an injury can make fly fishing more of a chore than a joy. Casting in the normal manner with a torn rotator cuff can be very tiresome needless to say having to endure with the constant aching. So I have tried several different methods to see if I could still cast effectively and keep the pain to a minimum. I have discovered if I just raise just my forearm and bring the rod back to a 2 o’clock position making sure the line is fully straighten out before I start the forward motion, then at the 10 o’clock position I snap my wrist and the line will just shoot out quite nicely. Using this procedure eases the stress on my shoulder. Do you have a different method of casting to work around an injury?[/size][/#008000][/font]
