A highly enjoyable video in which host Tom White states his objectives right up front, and then proceeds to accomplish those objectives in a quick, no-nonsense manner, this program will definitely improve the casting ability of any fly fisherman and makes a nice counterpart to Efficient Fly Casting, Vol. 1: Dry Land Casting (VL-3/94). White's skill is evident right from the beginning; his casts are smooth, his instructions simple to follow, and he shares the beauty in the sport of fly fishing (also seen in the film A River Runs Through It). What a relief to see a video where the host isn't engaging in some mindless banter or obviously reading his lines from a cue card. Tom White is entertaining and possesses an ability to make fly fishing interesting even to someone like myself who has never experienced the readily apparent enjoyment of making a perfect roll cast. A welcome addition. Recommended. Aud: P. (J. Carlson)
