shooting a flyrod
I really wanted to use my flyrod today after seeing what looked to be good spots from the opposite bank yesterday. when I got out it was way too windy and too many trees overhead and behind me for a proper cast, but I thought I would try to cast like I was shooting under docks for crappies except i held the leader and not the fly. It looked weird to alot of walkers and other fishermen but it worked.

In fly fishing, it's usually called the "bow and arrow cast":

BTW, that guy has a lot of good casting videos.

ok thats exactly what i was doing.

seems like that would just be a tangled mess, or the leader/tippet/fly would end up wrapped around a piling to me, but gonna try that.

gonna try that one for sure
