The Articulate Fly

S6, Ep 13: Casting Angles with Mac Brown


Listen Later

Join Marvin Cash and casting virtuoso Mac Brown as they recount their experiences at bustling shows in Atlanta and Michigan.

Mac shares a serendipitous tale from Atlanta, where constraint breeds creativity. Tasked with leading a fly tying demo with only a handful of materials, Mac turns limitation into a masterclass, crafting a fly with just a piece of partridge, pine squirrel and ostrich herl. The story serves as a metaphor for fishing and life, embracing constraints to spur ingenuity.

Marvin and Mac discuss the importance of adaptability, whether modifying a cast due to environmental obstacles or making do without forgotten gear. They emphasize the power of constraints to unlock new skills and enhance one's fly fishing repertoire.

Listeners will also get a sneak peek into Mac's upcoming casting schools and the partnership between The Articulate Fly and Mac Brown on a Fundamentals of Casting series. These sessions, designed to cut through the clutter of misinformation, promise to deliver clear, concise and effective casting wisdom.

As the show season winds down and signs of spring emerge, Marvin invites everyone to engage in the community, whether attending shows, tying flies or enjoying the outdoors. With a nod to the upcoming Super Bowl weekend, the episode wraps up with a reminder to relax, recharge and always be ready for the next cast.

Tight lines, everyone!
