Chapters include: The elements of slack line presentation; Equipment and the river currents; Simple dry-fly situations; Downstream tactics; Slack and tension control; Curve casts; More complex slack situations; Matching the hatch versus slack line control; The hinged nymphing system; Water casting and the high art of mending; Slack to set up and control swing; Controlled slack with streamers and sink-tip lines; Slack line tactics for steelhead; The final goal: the casting dance.
