Your idea of fishing uphill gives angling from shore a certain advantage if casts can be fanned out from shore without a boat's shadow. Do you agree that there is a certain advantage to this?

Can you think "Outside of the Box"? Really, then let's talk shadows!

Pictures can tell you a lot more than you think.

OK, I am going to show you some of the craziest stuff that you have ever seen.. PERIOD! Fishing shadows is one thing but fishing human shadows (your own) within minutes is another. I find a nice point with some stained water and stand still so the fish can postion themselves in my shadow and then I hammer them. Equipment used was a Lamiglas rod, Shimano 2500, Maxima 6# and a 1/8oz Spro Phat fly with a 1" bobber.
