<p>I like shooting docks but never done it with a fly rod. If it worked for you there sure isn't nothing wrong with it and I can also see these small hooks in my fingers.</p>

<p>This is a common practice for tubers using fly rods in the dense vegetation as well. If you don't have a telescoping pole to play with, shooting the line is the only way to get to the prime spots while dealing with heavy overhang of branches, and tall weeds.</p>

<p>I've never had a fly rod that was so bad I wanted to shoot it ;-)</p>
<p></p>
<p>Seriously, though, I've heard the kind of cast you were doing referred to as a bow-and-arrow cast. Haven't yet tried it myself as I can so easily imagine it would be my thumb that stopped the fly just after release. I've been in places where I've wanted to try it, though.</p>

<p>Hey Mike, I use a sidearm cast to get a sponge spider under the brush on ocassion, usually works too. Try to keep my line about three feet above the water thru most of the cast.........</p>
