While a link to this DVD already appears elsewhere in the sidebar, I thought that I would eat some bandwidth and post a short QuickTime clip—slightly modified—from the video. If you happen to be looking for the new-wave in fly-fishing video entertainment, this DVD isn’t it!

What this DVD is all about is helping casting instructors better visualize and understand 15 of the most common casting errors (determined by a grand committee of two casters, both of whom share the same last name). It was produced under the banner of the FFF Casting Instructor Certification Program.

As it turns out, the DVD has also gotten a following (a tiny one, mind you) among those casters who are just really into casting (i.e. the geeks). It can serve as a self-diagnostic tool (or just further education), as well as helping “casual” instructors up their game a bit.

If I can use one word to describe the DVD it is “focused.” If I can use another word, it is “boring.” To the casual observer, the video is about as exciting as watching cement dry. But, to the instructor, that boredom is actually all about paring errors down to the core, and making solid use of 13 minutes of time (with a bit of extra reading thrown in).

If you want to join the rarified atmosphere of the “15 MCCE Club,” whip out that credit card, sit back, and enjoy! The benefits of belonging are both numerous and exciting, including a front row seat for watching me do some brutally bad—even humorously bad—casting!
