The better your throw, the more fun you will have and the more relaxed you will be on the water. Pete Kutzer is one of the best casting instructors in the world and one of the best anglers you will meet. This means that he teaches casting to make fishing more enjoyable and is therefore pragmatic and flexible. He practices his own casting almost every day and gives us tips on how to practice at home no matter what type of fishing you end up doing. You won’t regret it – and neither will your guide if you hire one.
